Moments Without Names (final IM)

They say that time is like a river But I found whole years we never got to hold I stood there heavy at the water's edge, not thinking Then a memory surfaced and it stopped my sinking Your smile stayed out there in the rain A look that knew how this would end I held my breath, I couldn't move (so deep) A memory that never passed There are moments that fall between the hours (and they were only ours) Lost in the light and buried in scars Too small for anything the world can weigh But they're the ones that count (the ones that count...) A step in the sand the wind won't take A letter that stays unanswered still I saw your heart – and I meant to forgive A memory pulling me back in (pulling me in) A chair nobody pulls out anymore Something of you lives in the space between I'll walk a little further – stay close to you (stay close to me) That memory, it's living quiet in me No heavy word, no ringing sound Just moments – long and then gone (so quickly gone) Sometimes light, sometimes hard to hold They came in quiet, they hardly stayed But they carried me on through my life (mm, just carried me on) There are moments that fall between the hours (and they were only ours) Lost in the light and buried in scars Too small for anything the world can weigh And they're the only ones that stayed And when I go, I'll take them with me The moments and the years The quiet hours, step for step (step for step) They never had a big name on them But they shifted my whole world...
