Alayd

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left a word beside the door, A small blue note I can’t ignore. I turn it over in my hand, Trying to learn what you had planned. [Chorus] Alayd, I say it soft and slow, A name for somewhere I don’t know. If it’s a road, I’ll take the turn; If it’s a spark, I’ll let it burn. Alayd, the meaning can wait— I’m already standing at the gate. [Verse 2] The kettle clicks; the day begins, Dust on the sill, rain on the bins. Your handwriting leans to the right, Like it was hurrying out of sight. [Chorus] Alayd, I say it soft and slow, A name for somewhere I don’t know. If it’s a road, I’ll take the turn; If it’s a spark, I’ll let it burn. Alayd, the meaning can wait— I’m already standing at the gate. [Bridge] Maybe it’s nothing but a sound, A little thread I’ve finally found. Maybe the answer isn’t why— Maybe it’s simply: go, and try. [Final Chorus] Alayd, I say it clear and slow, A name for somewhere I can go. I take the road; I let it turn, I keep the note, I let it burn. Alayd, the meaning can wait— I’m walking through the open gate. [Outro] Alayd… I’m on my way.
