Streetlight Stories

Verse 1

Old man on the corner

Said he'd tell me something true

Said the pavement keeps the secrets

Of the things we never knew

Pre-Chorus

Every crack and every shadow

Holds a lesson in the night

And the streetlight keeps on flickering

Trying to help me get it right

Chorus

He said life's a story told in whispers

Passed from one pair of hands to another

And the truth ain't in the headlines

It's in the way we hold each other

Verse 2

I remember Sunday mornings

Mama humming low and sweet

She'd say the past is heavy

But it's the only thing that's concrete

Pre-Chorus

Every wrinkle on her forehead

Told a battle she had won

And I learned to read the quiet

When the talking's all been done

Chorus

Life's a story told in whispers

Passed from one pair of hands to another

And the truth ain't in the headlines

It's in the way we hold each other

Bridge

Yeah, we all got chapters

That we never learned to write

Scattered pages, empty spaces

Fading in the fading light

Chorus

Life's a story told in whispers

Passed from one pair of hands to another

And the truth ain't in the headlines

It's in the way we hold each other
