One Step Alone

歌詞

[Verse 1] I left one cup beside the sink Though no one comes by noon The kettle clicks, the hallway waits And every room keeps tune [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of quiet now The places it can hide [Chorus] Alone, but not erased I’m learning how to keep my place When every borrowed voice has gone I find a small light to lean on Alone, and breathing slow There’s still a road beneath the snow I don’t have to name where it will go I only have to take one step alone [Verse 2] The neighbor’s washing turns upstairs A chair drags across the floor I write your name, then fold the page And leave it by the door [Pre-Chorus] Some doors are made for opening Some close to let you heal [Chorus] Alone, but not erased I’m learning how to keep my place When every borrowed voice has gone I find a small light to lean on Alone, and breathing slow There’s still a road beneath the snow I don’t have to name where it will go I only have to take one step alone [Bridge] If morning finds me undecided I’ll let the curtains rise No grand answer, no sudden thunder Just two awake eyes [Final Chorus] Alone, but not erased A little steadier in this space The empty chair can stay awhile I can meet the day without a smile Alone, and breathing slow There’s still a road beneath the snow I don’t have to know where it will go I only have to take one step alone [Outro] One cup waiting by the sink One breath, then one more step
