the Last Light Carries Your Name

[Verse 1] We called it life, because no truer word existed. But it really was a room of waiting, In which time, without a sound, stole every breath and joy. You planted flowers like spring would never end. You whispered, “Eddy… I truly love you,” And for one beautiful lie, we thought love could outrun death. [Chorus] Now every wall remembers you. Every silence wears your voice. I’m living in a home That lost the reason it was built. If love could save a soul, You would still be here. [Verse 2] Your coat still hangs, heavy with your absence. I reach for you, my wife, But grief is made of empty air— It lets my hands pass through. What is a man Who could not protect the heart that gave his own a home? What is a man Who cannot save his child? [Bridge] Maybe this whole life Is only darkness, briefly interrupted By the miracle of finding love. If that is true, Then you were my only true love, My only truth, For everything beautiful borrowed your face. [Final Chorus] Sometimes I pray the night will forget my name. Not from anger. Not from courage. Only because I’m tired Of a world that smiles with disaster Where you should be. And if beyond the final silence There is even one small place Where love survives, I know you will find my hand again. That’s all I’ll ever need.
