heart call

"Where the Light Goes"Verse 1

Your coat still hangs beside the door,

A shadow keeping watch.

The house has learned to hold its breath,

The clocks have nearly stopped.

I leave a lamp on in the hall

Though morning always comes;

Some nights I swear I hear your steps

And turn to find no one.Pre-Chorus

The dark can make a heart believe

What daylight won't allow.Chorus

I keep a little light for you

Where the long shadows fall.

I talk to you in empty rooms

And hear the silence answer all.

If love can live beyond goodbye,

Then you're not gone from view.

The night may take the world from me,

But it can't take you.Verse 2

The rain still taps the windowpane

Like fingers saying stay.

I fold the blanket that you left

And put it back away.

Your name comes softly to my lips,

A song I almost know.

I carry every word you gave

Through streets of winter snow.Pre-Chorus

The dark can make a heart believe

There's more we could have said.Chorus

I keep a little light for you

Where the long shadows fall.

I talk to you in empty rooms

And hear the silence answer all.

If love can live beyond goodbye,

Then you're not gone from view.

The night may take the world from me,

But it can't take you.Bridge

And when the years have changed my face,

When even grief grows thin,

I'll find you in the quiet things

That let the daylight in.

A song, a door, a winter sky,

The warmth beneath the blue:

The world will keep on turning,

And I'll keep turning toward you.Final Chorus

I kept a little light for you

Where the long shadows fall.

I talked to you in empty rooms

Until I heard my own heart call.

If love can live beyond goodbye,

Then you're not gone from view.

The night is deep, the dawn is slow,

But I still carry you.Outro

Your coat still hangs beside the door.

I let the lamp burn low.
