Dawn after Dark

Описание: Tonight, I had a dream: the ember’s fading spark
A ghost in the hallway, so lost in the dark
The walls hold your shadow, the floorboards your name
The clock’s ticking onward, yet I stay the same

Oh, we’re all but ghosts, so fearful in our veils
Searching for our hearths in the cold on the trails
But the road it never ends ‘til you learn where it starts
The first breath at daybreak, a home for our hearts

And if, someday-sometime, the trailway unwinds
We'll tie a ribbon, red, velvet thread around our lives
To hold our weary hands, soft-laced but true
To mend what was broken, to dare something new

For this ghost is my savior, the wound, and the spark
A whisper I follow, the dawn after dark
There is fog on my mirrors, a knock at the door
A presence that lingers, though it touches no floor

Tonight, I had a dream: a candle’s dying spark
A ghost in the attic, so scared of the dark
The rooms they are empty, your portrait’s the same
The clock counts my heartbeats, or days that remain

Red ribbon, unbroken, though the years left their stains
We’re the sum of our losses and the love that remains
Let the night shudder, let me rend my dark veil
Every scar finds its meaning on the path that we trail

For this ghost is my savior, the wound, and the spark
A whisper I follow, the dawn after dark
There is fog on my mirrors, a knock at the door
A presence that lingers, though it touches no floor

Tonight, I had a dream: a lantern’s glowing spark
A ghost in the parlor, her face in the dark
She wears the red ribbon, the scarlet’s the same
In this life or the next, I know your name

And the lies that they tell me, I won’t believe
That love ends with breathing, that you’d ever leave
You’re the sigh in the floorboards, the tapping in the wall
My Spirit, my Always, the dawn after all
My Spirit, my Always, the dawn after all
My Spirit, my Always, my vow, and the dawn after all.
