[Verse] I watched the snow dissolve in streams A quiet world pulled out of dreams My voice called out across the pines But none of it was ever mine [Verse] Your name still drifts in open air Soft as smoke and thick as prayer I held it once, or thought I did But meaning hides where silence lives [Chorus] And it was never all that bright Just a flicker in the night Trying hard to make it last In a moment that had passed [Verse] The wind leans low across the field As if the earth itself could feel I tried to answer, tried to speak But truth comes slow when light comes weak [Bridge] There’s beauty in the far away In knowing I can’t make you stay And though the thread is worn and thin I’ll let the silence pull me in [Chorus] And it was never all that bright Just a flicker in the night Trying hard to make it last In a moment that had passed [end]
