Stone and Signal

[Verse 1] I walked home with my hands in my coat Past the gate with the paint half-peeled Your name hung there like a paper prayer On the fence by the empty field The river kept its old dark code Under bridges and broken stone I heard your voice in the mesh of wires Like a signal that still found home [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, I fall toward you If I drift, you pull me through One more step, one more sign Set my heart on your line [Chorus] Stone and signal, hold me close Stone and signal, don’t let go I am here, I am known Stone and signal, bring me home Stone and signal, call my name Through the rain and through the flame If the night takes all I know Stone and signal, bring me home [Verse 2] Your light was low in the kitchen glass Two cups cool on the table edge I traced the cracks in the windowpane Like a map to a living pledge There was dust on the radio dial There was mud on the back step stones But your laugh cut clean through the quiet room Like a hand finding mine alone [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, I fall toward you If I drift, you pull me through One more step, one more sign Set my heart on your line [Chorus] Stone and signal, hold me close Stone and signal, don’t let go I am here, I am known Stone and signal, bring me home Stone and signal, call my name Through the rain and through the flame If the night takes all I know Stone and signal, bring me home [Bridge] I was all salt, all scatter, all static You were the ground under all of it Now I keep your light in my pocket Small and warm like a fistful of grit [Final Chorus] Stone and signal, hold me close Stone and signal, don’t let go I am here, I am known Stone and signal, bring me home Stone and signal, call my name Through the rain and through the flame When the dark comes, let me know Stone and signal, bring me home Stone and signal, bring me home Stone and signal, bring me home
