Fading Light

[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock ticks slow on a silent night, Piano keys hum where your voice took flight. These empty strings strum a hollow tune, A photograph fades in the pale moonlight. [Chorus] Oh, the stars don’t shine like they did before, But I’ll mend these cracks in the floor. Through the ache, through the scars we’ve worn, I’ll carry the fire as the night is torn. [Verse 2] Your shadow lingers on the bedroom door, A whisper of “sorry” I can’t ignore. But the sunrise paints a softer hue, A promise of healing in morning’s dew. [Chorus] Oh, the stars don’t shine like they did before, But I’ll mend these cracks in the floor. Through the ache, through the scars we’ve worn, I’ll carry the fire as the night is torn. [Bridge] The road was long, and the weight was steep, But the storm surrenders to those who weep. And the ghosts we loved, they learn to fly, Leaving just enough light to say goodbye. [Chorus] Oh, the stars don’t shine like they did before, But I’ll mend these cracks in the floor. Through the ache, through the scars we’ve worn, I’ll carry the fire as the night is torn. [Outro]
