Cold stone under my hands Your name in the ash I came with an empty chest And a fracture I could not hide The candles bend in the draft The choir breathes low I stand at the edge of your silence And I still do not let you go Oh, hear me Hear me now Oh, carry Carry me somehow Come back to me Come back to me My broken queen Come back to me Come back to me Till the vaults still sing Your shadow lives in the arches In the salt on the wall I touch every carved confession Like I might wake your fall The baritones answer my longing Deep as a grave Then the higher line rises Like a hand through the dark to save Oh, hear me Hear me now Oh, carry Carry me somehow Come back to me Come back to me My broken queen Come back to me Come back to me Till the vaults still sing If I kneel, will you meet me? If I break, will you stay? I’ve been singing your absence Like a psalm that won’t fade away Come back to me Come back to me My broken queen Come back to me Come back to me Till the vaults still sing Stay Stay Stay with me (come back to me) (come back to me) Stay Stay Stay with me
