As Alone

I could have words or I could have solitude
Silent but falling, what is my place in this world?

Running ‘round looking for treasure in the ground
You always told me you loved me, just memories now

I’m running

Dreaming of what I can do now
To carry some kindness and love
And reminders that the pain will die down
I walk and I read, I spend time in the sea
And nothing brings clarity to what makes me me
Except knowing that some kind of sadness is freed
From the words and the sounds that I sing to myself
And Emily, just know that you’re not as alone
As you feel in the dark, as you feel in the dark
As you feel in the dark, as you feel in the dark
As you feel in the dark, as you feel in the dark
As you feel in the dark, as you feel in the dark

So it goes, natural as the falling of the snow
Just stay slow, listen to the love that I’m holding
And the beauty of unfolding
The life that is only
The living and the dying
The cycle and the ending
Flowers and honey
My hands on my body
Your hands on my body
The air on my body
The Sun on my body
