I brought the blue into the room
With words without a sound
A sad, sad song starts playing somewhere
It appeared when I turned around
And we all knew what it meant
Though no one said a thing
Somewhere between the leaving
And what the leaving brings
We were all there together
Waiting beside the track
Watching the light move past us
Knowing what it couldn’t bring back
Some things arrive like weather
Some things refuse to stay
I hold you closer in my arms
As you slip away
I have never
Ever, ever known
Where the love goes
When the light has gone
Where can it go
When there’s nowhere left to go?
How do you carry love
When there’s no one left to hold?
Our house was still the way it was
The windows looked the same
Morning entered without asking
As if nothing had gone wrong
I heard the birds singing in the garden
They didn’t seem to know
For a moment something moved there
Then the morning let it go
I have never
Ever, ever known
Where the love goes
When the light has gone
Where can it go
When there’s nowhere left to go?
How do you carry love
When there’s no one left to hold?
We were all there together
Then one of us was gone
