The curtain sways with morning air
but you're not here you're not up there
the books we read are neatly placed
but every page still holds your trace
your sweater's folded by the bed
I press it gently like you said
to keep what's warm don't grip too tight
but now I chase a faded light
Faded light don't leave me blind
still the thought thought that cals my mind
I close my eyes and feel your way
in every sunbeam running late
and though your voice is out of sight
I still wake up with faded light.
The hallway homes your favorite tune
the scent of tea the afternoon
you made the quiet feel like sound
you made the stillness wrap around
I walk our path the one we know
the garden's grown but missing you
the roses bloom then turn to night
like all things bathed in faded light
and if this light begins to dim
I'll chase its edge I'll follow him
for even dusk when love just right
can hold the warmth of faded light
Faded light you still remain
A golden thread inside the rain
so if your far still shines so slide
and lead me home with faded light.
