Carry on - Knoll Music
The coffee's cold but I don't mind
Left your coat and half a rhyme
Streetlights flicker like they know
What we lost but never show
I trace your name in window steam
Fading fast like every dream
But something soft still pulls me through
A voice, a light, maybe it's you
Carry on
Through the silence and the smoke
Through the pages we never spoke
I'll carry on, not to forget
But to remember what we meant
Your shadow danced in second-hand shoes
Told the truth without a clue
I still keep that broken pen
That never wrote how it should have ended
The clocks are wrong, the trains are late
But I still show up just in case
'Cause time's a liar, love's a thief
And hope is stitched inside belief
Carry on
Through the silence and the smoke
Through the pages we never spoke
I'll carry on, not to forget
But to remember what we meant
And though it burned
The flame is kind
It lights the path you left behind
Carry on
Like the hush before the storm
Like the thread in something worn
I'll carry on, not to let go
But to keep you in the undertone
No grand goodbye, no curtain call
Just a whisper through the hall
If you listen past the dawn
You'll hear me carry on
