as I come home and my journey concludes
I find myself thinking of you.
I step on the porch, put my hands on the door,
rack my brain for the life that we knew.
the memories are there but the room is bare.
how could this emptiness fill up my hurt?
the floorboards creak to the sound of the beat
of the clock that once watched us sleep.
and heavy is rain that pours down when it's cold.
don't close off the window to your heart,
the sun'll make it home.
the sun'll make it home.
and the paper clouds, they don't have to blow away.
for you and me, they'll still find a place to stay.
i keep my wind chimes near when your cloud flies here.
don't worry, this cloudy sky will clear, this cloudy sky will clear.
i still remember that day in september
when you told me you were to leave.
that heart in the corner that we drew together.
now i see that one half is gone.
it's been five years and the weather has changed.
pretty sure your cloud's outta sight.
but after the rain, it's always new life.
I think another cloud's passing by.
