[Verse 1] The sky went pale the rain came thin I brought your favorite flowers right on in Past crooked trees and the the iron gate Like my grief could somehow make me late I sit by the stone where the wild grass bends And talk like you would still answer me then I’d tell you about all the days that you missed And the places that your smile could’ve kissed The years keep movin even if time seems to stand still Dust on ya letters, time on this fucking hill I trace all this paper so very tender Like I can still remember its sender [Pre-Hook] And the world keeps turning Soft and slow But some things don't leave They only grow [Hook] I'm talking to a grave, like you're floating in the air Talking to your name like somehow you're still there If my voice can cross the distance, let it find you somewhere I'm talking to a grave, I'm talking like you care I talk, you don't answer I stay, the seasons change Love has nowhere left to go So I leave it at your name [Verse 2] There are things I remember that nobody knows The shape of your laugh, the way your shadow moved A sentence you said that I carried for years Funny how small things survive bigger fears Now the flowers bow low when the evening arrives And the earth holds a secret beneath all the vines I don't ask for a sign, I don't ask for a sound I just need somewhere your name can be found So I speak to the stone till my voice turns thin Let the words disappear where the roots begin Maybe grief is a language the living invent When the person they love has nowhere to send it [Pre-Hook] And the world keeps turning Soft and slow But some things don't leave They only grow [Hook] I'm talking to a grave, like you're floating in the air Talking to your name like somehow you're still there If my voice can cross the distance, let it find you somewhere I'm talking to a grave, I'm talking like you care I talk, you don't answer I stay, the seasons change Love has nowhere left to go So I leave it at your name [Verse 3] Sometimes I forget, then remember too fast For half of a second, the old world comes back Then the moment collapses, the silence returns And I feel every year in the place where it hurts The moon paints the stone with a colorless glow I don't know what I'm seeking, I only know where to go No miracle waiting, no voice from below Just a heart full of words with nowhere to throw So if love is a river, let mine run beneath Through the roots and the soil, through the dirt underneath And if memory's all that the living can save Then I'll keep your name breathing By talking to your grave [Final Hook] I'm talking to a grave, like you're floating in the air Talking to your name like somehow you're still there If my voice can cross the distance, let it find you somewhere I'm talking to a grave, I'm talking like you care I talk, you don't answer I stay, the seasons change Love has nowhere left to go So I leave it at your name I'm talking to a grave I'm talking to your name The world keeps moving on But I come here just the same [Outro] No answer. No goodbye. Just your name and another sky.
