[Verse 1] Somewhere, a window closes softly Somewhere, a voice forgets its song I only hear the edge of sorrow And still, it pulls my heart along A name I never knew is spoken A photograph, a fading light And suddenly my eyes are rivers For grief that never was quite mine [Pre-Chorus] How does a distant wound Find the door beneath my skin? How does another heart break And mine begin? [Chorus] The sorrow finds me Across the miles Through half-told stories And trembling smiles It enters softly Without a sound And all the tears they could not carry Come falling down [Verse 2] I’ve wept for rooms I’ve never entered For empty chairs I’ve never seen For hands that reached into the silence For all the spaces in between Sometimes a stranger’s quiet sentence Can turn the daylight thin and blue As if the heart has secret windows And sorrow knows which one comes through [Pre-Chorus] How does a distant wound Leave an echo in my chest? Why does another soul’s goodbye Refuse to let me rest? [Chorus] The sorrow finds me Across the miles Through half-told stories And trembling smiles It enters softly Without a sound And all the tears they could not carry Come falling down [Bridge] Perhaps the heart is not an island Perhaps its walls were never stone Perhaps we ache for one another So no one has to ache alone And if compassion leaves a bruise I’ll wear it like the rain I’d rather feel the world too deeply Than learn to look away [Final Chorus] The sorrow finds me Across the night A distant candle A fading light And though I cannot Turn time around For one small moment I will hold What they must lay down The sorrow finds me And I let it through Because somewhere in another heart I would want that too
