[Verse 1] There’s a lantern in the rafters And a moon caught in the tin Dust turns slow as little planets In the breath we’re breathing in Someone left the tractor cooling Hours ago and no one cared Now the night has found the silence That the house could never bear [Verse 2] Bootprints in the chaff and clover Voices fading out by degrees A radio gone thin and distant Leaking ghosts between the trees Everything we thought was urgent Stayed behind the kitchen door Out here time becomes a weather Moving soft across the floor [Chorus] Under barn lights, under old wood Under the weight of what we hide We are only shadows talking Trying to keep the dark outside If a song comes, let it find us Raw as wire and clean as rain Something broken, something breathing Something worth the ache again [Verse 3] Smoke climbs up and finds the lamplight Like a prayer that lost its nerve Every heart in here is carrying More than it will ever serve We were young enough to name things As if naming made them stay Now we sit among the echoes Watching summer slip away [Verse 4] Hay and rust and worn out leather Splinters silver in the beam All at once the barn feels holy Like the inside of a dream Not because there’s peace among us Not because the hurt is gone Just because for one strange moment No one here is looking on [Bridge] If the night won’t let us keep it Let it leave us with the tone Of one bare bulb above the rafters And the mercy of not being alone You found me on the dark side of the moon Where the silence settles in And the truth comes through in splinters Too worn down to rise again [Final Chorus] Under barn lights, under old wood Under the weight of what we hide We are only shadows talking With the dark now at our side If a song comes, let it find us Raw as wire and clean as rain Something broken, something breathing Something worth the ache again [Outro] Something broken Something breathing Something worth the ache again
