[Intro] [solo acoustic guitar finger picked dark and tender] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals, starts quiet and melodic and build-up through the song] Memories fade into the darkness Like a shadow lost in the dusk Someday you'll be a porch light Blowing out in the wind [verse 2] Shadows circle ‘round my mind Like the moon lost in space Last time I saw you, you were smiling And now you're gone for good [Chorus] [vocals full of emotion and sadness, electric fretless bass, and percussive guitar slaps join in] I know you're there in my mind Warm as summer sunshine Why am I still here? Now I can't remember Snow in December Someday I'll follow you too… [Post- Chorus] [vocalizing ad-libs: ooh, ooh] [acoustic guitar continues rhythmic pattern] [vocal harmonies layer in] [Verse 3] [baritone male vocals] Memories fade into the darkness Like a shadow lost in the dusk Someday you'll be a porch light Blowing out in the wind [Verse 4] Shadows circle ‘round my mind Like the moon lost in space Last time I saw you, you were smiling Now you’re gone for good [ chorus] [vocals contemplative, emotional, almost tearful] I know you’re there in my mind Warm as summer sunshine Why am I still here? Swallowed by the ocean Floating in this ocean Adrift and always alone Today you are my sunshine Lit up like a porch light Someday I’ll follow you too… [Post- Chorus] [vocalizing ad-libs: ooh, ooh] [acoustic guitar continues rhythmic pattern] [vocal harmonies layer in [verse 5 outro] Memories fade into the darkness Like a shadow lost in the dusk Someday you’ll be a porch light Blown out by the wind [Fades out with echo and delay] [guitar fades out with a final percussive slap]
