I've met you on a higher place
In every moment, every face
And through the years
You've held your grace
In every moment, every face
I keep you like a precious stone
In a palm I never show
And though the years
Have seen me grow
I keep you in a palm I never show
I'd live these years again
To hold you I tell myself
I'd gather every line on my face
Just to know you're well
I know in doubt I left
You holding down the fort
But when the wind dies down
And the words don't drown me
I see
Without you here
There is so much less to hold
I carve a mask that isn't mine
With all I cannot leave behind
I see you where I can't avoid the stare
Of all I cannot leave behind
But when the wind dies down
And the words don't drown me
I see
Without you here
There is so much less to hold
The call rings like a letter unsent
The spring of this love is in full bloom
And the gulls of my grief
Come calling calling calling
But when the wind dies down
And the words don't drown me
I see
Without you here
There is so much less to hold
Without you here
