Verse 1 In the hush of the evening sky Where the saffron shadows fall I saw your face in a fading light And I heard your silence call Through the garden of jasmine dreams Where the soft winds used to sing You were the gold in my trembling hands You were my everything Pre-Chorus Now the night wears your memory Like a jewel it cannot hide And my soul still walks the river With your name upon the tide Chorus A peacock feather and a tear That is all I hold from you One for all the love we knew One for all we could not do A peacock feather in the dark A lonely shimmer, bright and true And one small tear upon my heart Still falling here for you Verse 2 By the temple bells at dusk I whispered prayers into the flame Hoping smoke and moonlit air Would carry softly your sweet name On the walls of my broken days Your colors still remain Blue and gold in the shattered light Like beauty born from pain Pre-Chorus And the stars above seem restless As if they know what love has cost For the brightest hearts can carry All the things they thought they lost Chorus A peacock feather and a tear That is all I hold from you One for all the love we knew One for all we could not do A peacock feather in the dark A lonely shimmer, bright and true And one small tear upon my heart Still falling here for you Bridge If I meet you in another dawn Beyond the rain, beyond the years I will bring the feather still unbroken You will know me by my tears And if the gods are kind at last They will return your hand to mine Where love once bloomed in silent grace And sorrow turned divine Final Chorus A peacock feather and a tear The two truths love has always known One shines with all remembered joy One weeps for what is gone A peacock feather in the night Still touched by heaven’s tender blue And one last tear that will not dry Because I still love you
