[Verse 1] I keep the names we carried lightly Written on a paper train One by one the roads divided Still I hear them in the rain [Pre-Chorus] We were young enough to promise Nothing ever had to change But the years kept turning pages And the distance learned our names [Chorus] We thought we were forever We thought the end would never come We held our little dreams together Like glass beneath a winter sun Now every flower laid in silence Says more than any prayer begun I miss the people we once knew In the moonlit shadow of the sun [Verse 2] There were kitchens full of laughter Coats piled up beside the door Photographs with crooked corners Faces I can’t reach anymore [Pre-Chorus] Some found harbors, some found highways Some grew quiet, some moved on I still leave a place beside me For the ones who have gone [Chorus] We thought we were forever We thought the end would never come We held our little dreams together Like glass beneath a winter sun Now every flower laid in silence Says more than any prayer begun I miss the people we once knew In the moonlit shadow of the sun [Bridge] If love is more than keeping Then nothing disappears It lives inside the stories We tell across the years [Final Chorus] We thought we were forever And maybe part of us became The hands that held, the roads we traveled The voices answering our names So let the flowers rest in color Let the morning find everyone I’ll keep the people we once knew In the moonlit shadow of the sun [Outro] In the moonlit shadow of the sun I’ll remember everyone
