[Verse]
The porch light flickers in the evening breeze,
Your voice still whispers in the autumn trees.
The house is hollow, the silence screams,
Every corner echoes with shattered dreams.
[Chorus]
When the shadows took you away,
Left my heart in the cold to stay.
Now the nights feel twice as long,
And the daylight just feels wrong.
[Verse 2]
Your boots sit dusty by the backdoor mat,
An empty chair holds your weathered hat.
The clock ticks slow, a mocking tune,
Since you left beneath the pale, cold moon.
[Chorus]
When the shadows took you away,
Left my soul where the darkness sways.
Every step is a heavy load,
Walking this lonesome, broken road.
[Bridge]
I still smell your coffee in the morning air,
But reach for your touch, and you're not there.
The world keeps spinning, but I stand still,
Empty and aching, against my will.
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I hear you in the rain’s soft hum,
Or in church bells calling where we’re not one.
But no prayer can bridge this endless divide,
I carry your name, but not your light.
