[Verse 1a] The sky was a canvas of silken grey Your name on the wind wouldn’t drift away A whisper of time we could never freeze A silence that echoed beneath the trees [Verse 1b] You looked like a prayer in the falling rain I reached, but the moment had slipped again Still haunted by light that you used to be Still chasing the ghost that you left in me [Pre-Chorus] (But every shadow learns to sing) (When the night forgets to cling) [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Verse 2a] The clocks in my chest, they refuse to tick Each heartbeat a pulse that forgets to click The stars hold a grief I can't comprehend Their shimmer pretending it’s not the end [Verse 2b] I dance with your echo across the floor Each step a reminder of what we swore And though all the colors begin to blur I still see the shape of the love we were [Pre-Chorus] (But every shadow learns to sing) (When the night forgets to cling) [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Instrumental] [Bridge] And if tomorrow forgets my face Will you find me in a softer place? Between the noise and the golden hush Where time lets hearts begin to trust [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Instrumental] [Verse 3a] The wind speaks your name in a different tone But somehow I still don’t feel alone The past is a garden I dare to roam Your voice in the breeze still feels like home [Verse 3b] I carry your fire, though you’re not here Its warmth is the anchor that holds me near The ashes may drift, the embers glow And love is the only truth I know [Pre-Chorus] (But every shadow learns to sing) (When the night forgets to cling) [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Pre-Chorus] ("But every shadow learns to sing") ("When the night forgets to cling") [Chorus] So I breathe you in like the dawn Hold on though you’re already gone Your memory plays like a song Fading slow, but never wrong... [Instrumental]
