Are You Everywhere, My Love?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left a bowl of water by the door And watched the candle bend toward it Your name came loose from the old floorboards Like something the house had kept [Pre-Chorus] I asked the well, I asked the flame Where does a lost thing go? The room held still, then gave my question Back in a voice I know [Chorus] Are you everywhere, my love? In the salt, the stone, the rain? Are you everywhere I turn Or only here inside my name? If the dark has kept you somewhere Let it tell me what is true: Are you everywhere, my love— Or am I reaching through? [Verse 2] A thread of silver crossed the glass Though every window had been shut The old clock stopped at half past four And would not answer when I touched it [Pre-Chorus] I set your cup beside my own And waited through the cold The little ring it left behind Was brighter than the gold [Chorus] Are you everywhere, my love? In the salt, the stone, the rain? Are you everywhere I turn Or only here inside my name? If the dark has kept you somewhere Let it tell me what is true: Are you everywhere, my love— Or am I reaching through? [Bridge] If you are wind, disturb the dust If you are ash, fall in my hand If you are gone beyond the door Then teach my heart to understand [Final Chorus] Are you everywhere, my love? In the salt, the stone, the rain? Are you everywhere I turn Or only here inside my name? I will leave the candle burning Till the morning breaks in blue: Are you everywhere, my love— And is some part of me with you? [Outro] The water settles in the bowl The flame leans toward the door
