Since you've been gone
the sun don't come around
Remember the last time
we laid our burden down?
Your eyes were so green
seemed like summer would just go on and on
Now it looks like fall
tends to prove us wrong

I know it's not easy
to bring faith across a canyon
But time isn't kind
it's much wider then you imagined
But here's a bridge
made of smoke and thin air
And here's a shred
of hope to get you there

She says my name
it rolls around her tongue
When the sunlight fades
the moon asks for me to come
Don't ever go so
far from me again
The one who leaves grieves
for the one who feels abandoned

I've never been one
to sit around and count the days
The calender just moans
the bed never gets made
But I decided to sit still
and wait by my window
For peace in my time
with a woman I know

When broken hearts break
with that avalanche on the horizon
You and I got out scars
searching for life beneath the last one
But I packed my boat
and I hope it's sea worthy
I don't know the river
but I'm ready for the journey

She says my name
it rolls around her tongue
When the sunlight fades
the moon asks for me to come
Don't ever go so
far from me again
The one who leaves grieves
for the one who feels abandoned
