07 The Hum

I hear it under all the noise Something’s moving through the wire Not a word and not a warning Just a signal that won’t retire Soft at first... ... Then holding true A pulse that says I remember you There’s a hum beneath the static A signal under all the strain Not loud enough to drown the dark But clear enough to call my name There’s a hum beneath the static A line of warmth through all this blue And every time I almost vanish It leads me back to you I follow it through the long low hours Through the ash and through the ache Every nearly-lost transmission Finds a thread it does not break Maybe home is not a doorway Maybe home is not a room Maybe home is just the moment When a distant heart flows through. Faint at first Then near A pulse that says I’m still here There’s a hum beneath the static A signal under all the strain Not loud enough to drown the dark But clear enough to call my name There’s a hum beneath the static A line of warmth through all this blue And every time I almost vanish It leads me back to you Garden gate Lantern glow Even the dark Can learn the road If I am drift If I am smoke Call me softly... ...I will know. There’s a hum beneath the static A signal under all the strain Not loud enough to drown the dark But clear enough to call my name There’s a hum beneath the static A line of warmth through all this blue And every time I almost vanish It leads me home to you Low light in soft blue I love you, mo chroí, Please, flow through… … come home to me.
