[Intro] [Verse] I found one of your shoes under the rubble near a pole that used to hold our swing I do not cry, I do not speak The fallen sky has hushed our song I craddle your shoe as if it breath to my skin it's laces telling me your run chasing light beneath the sun [Pre-chorus] suddenly, the silence grow stronger the sky fall once again I run, but throw a scream [Chorus] Sleep, my friend, though skies are gray, I’ll sing you home, though you’ve gone away. Sleep, my friend, though skies are gray, I’ll sing you home, though you’ve gone away. [Verse] I rock the shoe against my chest, Pretend you’re here, pretend we rest, The ashes fall like gentle rain, A lullaby for all our pain. Let the playground sleeps, Let its colors worn, [Bridge] And so I walks, the shoe in hand, Across the scarred and silent land, Carrying more than leather and lace I bear a memory, a vanished face. [Pause] [Pre-chorus] suddenly, the silence grow stronger the sky fall once again I run, but throw a scream [Chorus] Sleep, my friend, though skies are gray, I’ll sing you home, though you’ve gone away. Sleep, my friend, though skies are gray, I’ll sing you home, though you’ve gone away. [Outro] So sleep, my friend, though skies are gray, I’ll carry you along the way, Your shoe, your song, your vanished face My lullaby in this empty place.
