I saw you sleeping in the morning light
Your face was still your breath was quiet and light
The whole world was a rumor outside the door
But here inside I wanted nothing more
And I have walked a thousand crooked roads
I have carried more than any man could hold
But you are the only one that I keep
You are the secret whispered in the deep
You are the ember when the fire is asleep
You are the only one that I keep
The years go by like rain on a window pane
Some names I loved I cannot speak again
But your name sits quiet on my tongue
Like the first note of a song when the night is young
I am not the man I was before
I have less to prove and more to adore
Let the others chase the fading light
I will stay here with you through the night
You are the only one that I keep
You are the secret whispered in the deep
You are the ember when the fire is asleep
You are the only one that I keep
