From the recording The Journey Home
Lyrics
You said the world was safe, but I saw the cracks
Windows rattled when the thunder called back
I walked home alone, shoes soaked in the rain
Kept my questions quiet, learned to carry the pain
Shadows fall where the daylight used to be
Old regrets flicker on the walls in front of me
I count the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for a sign
Wonder if the dark was always part of what’s mine
Shadows fall, shadows fall
I watched the streetlights flicker through the blinds
Dust in the corners, memories I can’t find
Kept my hands busy just to quiet my mind
Learning how to lose, one piece at a time
Shadows fall where the daylight used to be
Old regrets flicker on the walls in front of me
I count the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for a sign
Wonder if the dark was always part of what’s mine
Shadows fall
But in the quiet, a whisper calls
A distant memory of grace through it all
Though I stumble, though I stray
There’s a longing for the dawn, a hope that stays
Shadows fall where the daylight used to be
Old regrets flicker on the walls in front of me
I count the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for a sign
Wonder if the dark was always part of what’s mine
Shadows fall, shadows fall
Shadows fall where the daylight used to be
Old regrets flicker on the walls in front of me
I count the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for a sign
Wonder if the dark was always part of what’s mine
Shadows fall, shadows fall
