Gone. Numb.
Stay with me a little longer
The night is coming down
There’s a shadow in your colour
where the light has thinned away
and I would hold the sun for you
if I could only make you stay
But I’m falling through the hours
and there’s nothing I can hold
watching all your warmth surrender
to a grey and ancient cold
And I would tear the sky apart
and pull the heavens down
I’d give up every star I own
to hear you make a sound
So don’t fade
don’t you fade away
I am not ready for the dark
that’s coming either way
I would carry all your weight
across a thousand nights alone
but I cannot
I cannot
bring you home
We were made of light and fury
we were young and unafraid
we believed we’d burn forever
we’d never watch it fade
Now I’d trade the whole horizon
every dream I ever knew
for one more ordinary morning
in a world that still had you
And the universe is endless
but it hasn’t room for you
and I’m screaming at a heaven
that was never, ever true
Take my light
take all of it
take everything I am
I would rewrite all creation
if creation gave a damn
So don’t go quiet
don’t go far
I am fading in your shadow
and I’m as grey as you are
So stay
just stay
a little
longer
wherever you are
wherever
you
