Verse 1 The sun leans low on the old pine ridge, Coffee cup cold on the porch rail’s edge. The radio hums that same worn sound, And the day folds up like a letter put down. Chorus When the light slows down and the shadows grow tall, I swear I still hear your voice down the hall. The house exhales, and the silence starts to sing, Another sunset without your ring. Verse 2 I still set two plates out out of habit or hope, Old routines with too much rope. Your chair’s still there, and the air still knows, What’s gone quiet where the wild wind blows. Chorus When the light slows down and the shadows grow tall, I swear I still hear your voice down the hall. The house exhales, and the silence starts to sing, Another sunset without your ring. Bridge There’s peace in the dark, but it don’t feel right, That empty pillow beside me tonight. Stars climb high and fade too soon, Just like you under that June moon. Final Chorus When the light slows down and the night pulls in, I talk to the dark like an old best friend. You’re still here in the breath of this town, When the light slows down.
