Lyrics

The sun is sinking low behind the ridge
Another day just fades into the gray
I'm on the porch, staring at that bridge
Hoping to see headlights turn this way
My coffee's cold in this old chipped mug
The blue-tick hound is sleeping at my feet
This big old house just needs a little love
It's too quiet on this dead-end street
Your mama used to fill these rooms with song
Now the only sound's the TV humming all night long
The heavy rust, is turning all to gray
The choking dust, of words we didn't say
You were the arrow, I was just the bow
I aimed you high and had to let you go
I trace the pencil marks upon the door
But little feet don't run across the floor
Now silence is the thief that comes to steal
The only wound that time will never heal
I saw your picture online today
Suit and glass, that high-rise town
I typed a message that I threw away
Didn't want to be the weight that drags you down
I know you've got a life you have to live
And "Sorry Dad, I'm swamped" is what you say
I've got so much forgiveness left to give
But my memory is fading day by day
I'm not asking for a week, just give me half a day
Before they come to carry me away
I don't fear the reaper, or the cold dark ground
I fear leaving without making a sound... to you
The heavy rust, is turning all to gray
The choking dust, of words we didn't say
You were the arrow, I was just the bow
I aimed you high and had to let you go
I trace the pencil marks upon the door
But little feet don't run across the floor
Now silence is the thief that comes to steal
The only wound that time will never heal
Nothing's built to last… except this waiting
The porch light's burning out
Guess I'll go inside now
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe…
