She Packed Up The Sunshine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up to her side all empty Coffee cup still on the sink Her sweater on the kitchen chair But her eyes gone in a blink She left a note by the front door Folded twice No heavy words Just “I gotta find my own way” And a little drawn bird [Chorus] She packed up the sunshine Took it away Left me with the echo of yesterday Radio playing our old song slow But she already gone down the road She packed up the sunshine Locked up the light Now it’s just me and this quiet night Swaying in the space where her body used to lie Asking all the reasons why [Verse 2] Her footprints fading in the driveway Suitcase wheels cut through the dust Taxi taillights hit the window Red reflections over us Neighbors hanging out their laundry Life goes on like nothing changed But my hands still set two plates At the table by her chair [Chorus] She packed up the sunshine Took it away Left me with the echo of yesterday Radio playing our old song slow But she already gone down the road She packed up the sunshine Locked up the light Now it’s just me and this quiet night Swaying in the space where her body used to lie Asking all the reasons why [Bridge] I still hear her laughing in the hallway (oh-oh) See her dancing in my old white shirt Every little memory a wave now Rolling in Pulling back It hurts But I bless her name on my lonely lips Send her love on the evening breeze If she ever finds her way back home I’ll be waiting under these old mango trees [Chorus] She packed up the sunshine Took it away Left me with the echo of yesterday Radio playing our old song slow But she already gone down the road She packed up the sunshine Locked up the light Now it’s just me and this quiet night Swaying in the dark where her body used to lie Asking all the reasons why
