I Will Bring You Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Old floorboards breathe beneath my tired shoes The hallway smells of rain and faded paint I left these walls to chase a distant truth And learned how far a lonely road can faint The porch light flickers like a patient eye Through tangled branches of the maple tree No need to speak, no questions left to try Just let the quiet pull me back to me [Chorus] I will bring you home through the fading light Across the miles we swore we'd never cross I will hold the dark till the morning white And find the shape of everything we lost Let the heavy years fall away like foam I will bring you home [Verse 2] The key turns heavy in the iron lock A silent welcome from the empty hall Time slows down and shatters every clock As shadows stretch against the yellow wall A photograph upon the wooden shelf Of younger faces in a simpler spring I almost didn't recognize myself Without the weight of everything I bring [Chorus] I will bring you home through the fading light Across the miles we swore we'd never cross I will hold the dark till the morning white And find the shape of everything we lost Let the heavy years fall away like foam I will bring you home [Bridge] Every mile was a stone in my pocket Every vow was a spark in the dark Now the key finds its place in the socket And the quiet puts out every mark We are here We are clear [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I will bring you home through the fading light Across the miles we swore we'd never cross I will hold the dark till the morning white And find the shape of everything we lost Let the heavy years fall away like foam I will bring you home [Outro] Just let it fall The journey's done We are home [Fade out]
