[Verse 1] You left a bowl beside the door For rainwater and fallen leaves I watched the small boats cross the floor Where the old house learned to breathe [Pre-Chorus] I held my questions like a stone Until my hands forgot their shape Then something quiet called me home Through every room I tried to escape [Chorus] Take what I cannot carry Keep what I cannot name Meet me where the river bends And teach my heart to stay If I am lost beneath the water If I am changed by what I see Let the deep remember softly There is still a path to me [Verse 2] Your coat still hangs behind the chair One silver button coming loose I touch the sleeve, then leave it there As if the cloth could tell the truth [Pre-Chorus] The morning comes without a sign A pale line gathering on the wall I turn my face toward its light And let the locked doors lose their hold [Chorus] Take what I cannot carry Keep what I cannot name Meet me where the river bends And teach my heart to stay If I am lost beneath the water If I am changed by what I see Let the deep remember softly There is still a path to me [Electric Violin Solo] [Bridge] I will not ask the dark to answer I will not make the hurt behave I will keep one window open I will learn the words for brave [Final Chorus] Take what I cannot carry Keep what I cannot name Meet me where the river bends And teach my heart to stay Though I was lost beneath the water Though I was changed by what I see Let the deep remember softly There is still a path to me There is still a path to me [Outro] A bowl beside the door The rain has cleared I am still here
