[Verse 1] Coffee rings on yesterday's paper Your ghost sits in that empty chair Morning light through dusty windows Catches dust motes in the air The clock ticks slower since you've gone Each second stretches like a year I trace the outline of your shadow In the spaces you're not here [Chorus] And I'm drifting through these empty rooms Where your laughter used to play Slow streams of solitude fade Over the landslides in your hair, Gently blowing over your scent In the windstorms ahead [Verse 2] Rain taps morse code on the skylight Spelling out what we can't say Your perfume lingers on the pillows Though you've been gone for days I pour two glasses out of habit Set the table just for one The evening crawls through purple twilight Another day without you done [Chorus] And I'm drifting through these empty rooms Where your laughter used to play Slow streams of solitude fade Over the landslides in your hair, Gently blowing over your scent In the windstorms ahead [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I'll stop waiting For your key to turn the lock Maybe tomorrow I'll stop saving The other side of this bed But tonight I'll just keep drifting Through the echoes that you've left... [Short chorus] Slow streams of solitude fade Over the landslides in your hair, Gently blowing over your scent In the windstorms ahead [Outro] But tonight I'll just keep drifting Through the echoes that you've left...
