Silver Twilight Glow

I’m leaving these notes on the kitchen table

Just in case the fog don't lift by dawn

I’ve fought with the shadows, I’ve broken the cable

And I need you to know I’ve finally moved on

Don't weep in the doorway, don't scream at the sky

I’m just trading the noise for the silent release

I didn’t want to go, but I had to try

To find where the war finally settles to peace

Take the lessons I taught you, forget all the pain

Let the dust settle down on the things that I broke

I am not in the ground, I am not in the rain

I am the fire, and I am the smoke

When the screen goes black

And the shadows start to take the room

Know I’ll never look back

I’ve found a place to bloom

When the sun breaks down

And the ash begins to drift like snow

I’ll be waiting on the edge of the town

In the silver twilight glow

The clocks on the wall are all ticking in rhythm

Counting the moments we shared through the years

Every mistake and every decision

Are washed in the light and the drying of tears

Remember the laughter that echoed through hallways

The way that we stood when the world tried to bend

I’m carving a path where it’s sunlight and always

A place where the road doesn't have to just end

So take every memory, hold it like gold

The stories we whispered, the secrets we kept

The future is yours for the hands that you hold

In the spaces where once we both worried and wept

When the screen goes black

And the shadows start to take the room

Know I’ll never look back

I’ve found a place to bloom

When the sun breaks down

And the ash begins to drift like snow

I’ll be waiting on the edge of the town

In the silver twilight glow

The horizon is wider than I ever imagined

A canvas of color where once there was none

I’ve left all the heavy things back in the cabin

And started a walk toward the permanent sun

You’ll see me in sparks of a midsummer fire

Or hear me in melodies carried on wind

The soul isn't something that's meant to retire

It’s only a chapter that’s about to begin

Don’t look at the empty chair left by the window

But look at the hills where the wild grass grows

The spirit is more than the things that we know

And deeper than any old river that flows

When the screen goes black

And the shadows start to take the room

Know I’ll never look back

I’ve found a place to bloom

When the sun breaks down

And the ash begins to drift like snow

I’ll be waiting on the edge of the town

In the silver twilight glow

It’s a long way home when the stars are your guide

Through the valleys of echo and mountains of stone

But there is a beauty that no one can hide

In knowing that nobody travels alone

The weight of the world is a feather tonight

The anchors are lifted, the sails are all set

I’m stepping away from the dark into light

With nothing but love and with zero regret

I’m part of the rhythm, I’m part of the beat

In every new stranger you happen to meet

When the screen goes black

And the shadows start to take the room

Know I’ll never look back

I’ve found a place to bloom

When the sun breaks down

And the ash begins to drift like snow

I’ll be waiting on the edge of the town

In the silver twilight glow

I am watching the clouds...

In the silver glow...

Everything is clear now...

Just keep moving...

Keep going...

I am right there...

In the light...

Always...

Wait for the dawn...
