[Intro – instrumental : Soft pads, distant pulse, Like breath before a word] [Verse 1] I still see your eyes at dawn When the quiet pulls me on I would rise if you were near Two dry years, so cold, so clear In the dark I speak your name Like a vow, like a flame When that light comes breaking through I will rise again with you [Chorus] When the light returns to me I’ll be whole, I’ll finally see Every road leads back to you Every prayer I whisper true If the night won’t let me go I will wait, I will stay slow When that light comes guiding home I won’t walk this world alone [Verse 2] Colors fade, then come alive In the deep behind my eyes All the faces, all the years Everyone I loved, I feared I retrace my broken lines Calling out through space and time Like a girl, like yesterday Like a spell I learned to say [Chorus] When the light returns to me I’ll be whole, I’ll finally see Every road leads back to you Every prayer I whisper true If the night won’t let me go I will wait, I will stay slow When that light comes guiding home I won’t walk this world alone [Bridge – whispered / prayer-like] If you’re lost, if you’re far Hear my voice, wherever you are I don’t ask for anything Just your trace, just your spring Time can bend, clocks can fail Love is still the quiet trail I believe, I still do Every spell leads back to you [Final Chorus] When the light returns at last All the sorrow will have passed I will rise, I will know This was always leading home In this breath, in this tone I am calling you alone When that light comes shining through I will wake the world with you
