Testo Without You

Testo Without You

Time was passing slowly,

In the crisp November air

I was breathing out the autumn,

Resting in our rocking chair
The morn rose from your amber eyes

Your warmth filled up the room

How I wish I'd told you, softly,

There's no home here without you


In the winter evening hardens

As it freezes autumn's sun

The light that blossomed from your eyes
Wilted, wordless, day was done

Left with nothing but your echo

As I pace the empty rooms

How I wish I'd told you, softly

There's no home here without you


Time holds up a broken mirror

And it beats a broken drum

I'm not proud of who I was then

Or the man that I've become

Could I trace the lines back down again

Find the man that you once knew

I would tell him to remember

There's no home here without you


Life's a passing dalliance

So our distance slowly grew

There are words that I could live without

There are times I would undo

There are moments in the evenings

When the memories slip through

And I'd wish to tell you, softly

There's a home still here for you
