Until We Fade

Lyrics

[Intro] [Instrumental: solo violin] [Verse 1: Woman] Your coat is still beside the door The rain has dried along the floor I keep the cup you used to choose As if the room might still be you [Verse 2: Man] I found your note beneath the keys A list of things we meant to be I read it twice, then folded small And held it close against it all [Pre-Chorus: Woman and Man] If time can take the shape we knew Let it take the hurt, not you [Chorus: Woman and Man] Until we fade, I’ll keep your name In every ordinary day When all the words have lost their place I’ll find you in the quiet space Until we fade, until we’re gone Your hand will still feel like home [Verse 3: Woman] The garden leans toward the window now The rosemary has outgrown the bowl I hear your laugh in what I do In every small thing I still choose [Verse 4: Man] I take the long way past the square Where we once waited in the rain The years move on, the seasons turn But love is more than what we learn [Pre-Chorus: Woman and Man] If time can take the shape we knew Let it take the hurt, not you [Chorus: Woman and Man] Until we fade, I’ll keep your name In every ordinary day When all the words have lost their place I’ll find you in the quiet space Until we fade, until we’re gone Your hand will still feel like home [Middle: Woman and Man] And when the years have changed the view When every road is strange and new I’ll meet you where the old days end With all the love we couldn’t spend No final word can make us small No passing season takes it all I’ll carry what we were through time And keep your place beside mine [Final Chorus: Woman and Man] Until we fade, I’ll keep your name In every ordinary day When all the words have lost their place I’ll find you in the quiet space Until we fade, until we’re gone Your hand will still feel like home [Outro: Woman and Man] The cup is waiting by the door The rain has dried along the floor Until we fade, I’ll keep you near And love will stay, and love will stay
