[Intro: Soft open-tuned acoustic guitar, intimate and spacious] [Verse 1] Even as morning light fills up the room The edge of the bed stays quiet and still Hands tying laces in the morning gloom Moving slower than they usually will [Pre-Chorus] Hanging in the hallway corner shade Gently holding the leash that time has made [Chorus] What should I call this lightness in my hand? A heavy weight revealed when weight is gone Walking the same path through the morning land Alone I match your stride into the dawn [Interlude: Unhurried fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 2] The corner store door slides open wide No lingering shadow stops today I stand alone before the glass inside Waiting for the world to drift away [Pre-Chorus] Children's voices turn the corner street Nobody looks down at my bare feet [Chorus] I hold this lightness close against my chest A quiet proof of how you used to run Wind blows through the space where you would rest Moving on unhindered by the sun [Bridge: Voice and single acoustic guitar] Beside my feet that forgot how to cry Before the dawn, deep shadows softly lie Matching the dark fur of days gone by Nostalgia nestles close without a sigh [Breakdown Chorus: Very soft, voice and guitar] What should I call this lightness in my hand? A heavy weight revealed when weight is gone [Final Chorus: Gently fuller acoustic arrangement] Carrying this lightness as I go Walking the same path through morning air Alone I match your stride, steady and slow Still walking right beside you standing there [Outro: Guitar arpeggio slowly thinning] At the leash's end, the morning breeze sways soft
