In the quiet of a dimming day, I'm sittin' here
My hands are worn like the leather of my old chair
Once had it all, or so the old stories say
But life like autumn leaves, just drifted away

These walls whisper of the riches and the loss
Ghosts in the hallway, dancin' 'cross the old gloss
Pain comes in waves, but the hardest to conceive
Is how you're right here, yet still I grieve

Every breath's a memory, faded and worn
In the silence of this room where my heart was torn

But you, my only light, in the darkest fight
Holdin' on to me, through the shadow's bite
All I've lost seems small, when you're near
Darlin', in your eyes, I find no fear

These hands that held you, now barely raise a glass
My voice, once strong, now whispers of the past
The clock ticks down, and I feel the time is right
For peace to come, in the closing of the night

Yet here in this silence, where the world fades out
I see your smile, though it's shadowed by doubt
You're with me, love, in the gentlest of ways
A spectral touch in my end of days

Holdin' on to me, through the shadow's bite
All I've lost seems small, when you're near
Darlin', in your eyes, I find no fear

Every breath's a memory, faded and worn
In the silence of this room where my heart was torn

But you, my only light, in the darkest fight
Holdin' on to me, through the shadow's bite
All I've lost seems small, when you're near
Darlin', in your eyes, I find no fear

I'm ready now, to let the night in
To fade away, it's not givin' in
Your love's the last song my soul will play
On this twilight stage, as I slip away
Darlin' stand by, as I slip away

So let me go, love, don't you cry no more
Find peace in knowing, I'm not weary anymore
You've been my beacon, my northern star
Now I'm just a traveler, goin' far

But you, my only light, in the darkest fight
Holdin' on to me, through the shadow's bite
All I've lost seems small
When I'm lost seems small, when you're near
Darlin', in your eyes, I find no fear

As I drift away, under the moon's soft gleam
I'll hold you in my dreams, beyond the stream
My love, my heart, in this eternal night
You're the only truth, my last and only light
