[Intro] [Verse 1] I comb the ashes for the warmth they used to hold, These crumpled stories still remember being told. I don't make the memory, love, I only set it free, Draw it up like water, give it back to what will be... [Pre-Chorus] And the copper light keeps turning, Through the dark, my slow hands, burning... [Chorus] ...So... I... keep the light. I keep the light, For a love that only passes in another night, I can save, the whole world's yesterday, But I can't keep you, no, I can't keep you, The tide just takes you away... [Instrumental - Keep The Light] [Verse 2] I press a rose between the letters no one sends, Twilight Café, where the timelines almost blend. You leave me what could happen, I leave you what has been, You're every open door. I'm the room you're never in... [Pre-Chorus] And the pressed rose keeps its color, Burning slow, I watch it smolder... [Chorus] ...So... I... keep the light. I keep the light, For a love that only passes in another night, I can save the whole world's yesterday, But I can't keep you, no I can't keep you, The tide just takes you away... [Bridge] I could never mourn you, no — I tend you like an ember, slow, The lonely names, in loamy soil. The foamy water flows below. Every one I found alone, I hold it, then I let it go. That's my work, my love, my vow, the only tending that I know... [Hook] ...and isn't it the cruelest jest, the boldest con, my dear? To hold all that ever was in reach, and still you can't be here... We're divided by a doorway, just one thin-moment wide, And neither one was ever built — no, never — to step inside... [Final Chorus] ...So... I... keep... the light. I keep the light, For a love that only passes in another life, I can save the whole world's yesterday, But I can't keep you, no, I can't keep you, The tide just takes you away... [Outro] (Keep the light... keep the light...) Pass me softly in another night, (Keep the light... keep the light...) Pass me softly, in another life...
