In the dying light
Of an empty room
With the window open
I have dreamed of you
When the evening enters
Like a dark perfume
I am shadow-breathing
As if emptiness could fill me

In the quiet heat
Holding back the rain
I am outside waiting
And I say your name
To the storm inside me
That will still remain
When the sky is empty
And the world goes on without you

The moment leaves
Almost as it came
The feeling stays

In every way that you were beautiful
In every way that I refused to see
I find a reason to forgive you now
And leave you
Inside me

In the holding on
And the letting go
Is the way you lose
And the way you grow
When the feeling enters
Like a wounded ghost
Let the night be gentle
When I say how much I miss you

The moment leaves
Almost as it came
The feeling stays

In every way that you were beautiful
In every way that I refused to see
I find a reason to forgive you now
And keep you
Inside me"
