Until You Return

Verse 1

Morning light on an empty chair

The garden grows where we used to stare

I count the days in faded rhyme

Waiting on a gentle sign

Pre-Chorus

And the hours hum a lonely song

I hum along

I hum along

Chorus

Until you return

I'll keep the lantern burning low

Until you return

I'll let the river carry what I know

Verse 2

Your shawl still hangs upon the hook

I read the lines inside your book

The sitar weeps a golden thread

A melody inside my head

Pre-Chorus

And the night keeps calling out your name

I say the same

I say the same

Chorus

Until you return

I'll keep the lantern burning low

Until you return

I'll let the river carry what I know

Bridge

Somewhere the wind is soft and kind

Somewhere you wander out of mind

But here the tambourines all ring

And the robins still take wing

Chorus

Until you return

I'll keep the lantern burning low

Until you return

I'll let the river carry what I know
