You lower your head, while dawn is still away
The book on the table still rests on yesterday's page
One word after another falls into the quiet room
Neither of us says what trembles in the heart
I look at you, like a window closed against the light
I reach my hand out, afraid of breaking through your walls
The words I meant to say grow hurried without my knowing
And you gently leave your silence by my side
Sometimes a single word falls, and changes shape
I mean to offer care, but you hear only its weight
I worry for tomorrow, while you hide in the glow of the screen
Two hearts are trying to find somewhere they won't be hurt
Perhaps between us, there is a trace of tears
I take one step closer, you take one step away
Neither of us means to leave, the wind is simply cold and strong
When the heart grows still, we finally hear what we long for
A little light released within a dream
Falls softly on the window where you still sleep
I won't hurry you toward the distant road
I'll simply stay beside you, waiting for the dawn
When you fall silent, I hear the clock inside my heart
Tick by tick, it echoes an unknown fear
I fear tomorrow's road may come before we're ready
You fear today's wind may shake your little world again
I thought a reminder would help you see the way
But perhaps you hear a sound you've known too well
All the hurt and stubbornness left unspoken
Hide somewhere inside, with nowhere safe to rest
The same words can carry different weight
The same look can echo in different ways
I begin to slow down, no longer chasing answers
Letting one quiet breath return to my chest
Perhaps between us, there is a trace of tears
The closer I reach, the farther you disappear
Neither of us means to leave, the heart is simply still too busy
When the wind grows still, we can finally see each other
A little light released within a dream
Falls softly on the window where you still sleep
I won't hurry you toward the distant road
I'll simply stay beside you, waiting for the dawn
Perhaps behind harsh words, there is a little fear
Perhaps behind silence, there is only a need for time
When emotion rises like a tide into the heart
Let it arrive, then let it slowly drift away
Some roads are slow, but they still know where they lead
Some doors close for a while, but hope is still behind them
When we both learn to look into our own hearts
We find that after emotion passes, another path remains
And so we leave a little moonlight between us
A place where your silence can come to rest
A place where my worry can slowly loosen its hold
Without rushing to decide what tomorrow should become
A little light released within a dream
Falls softly on the window where you still sleep
There is no clock in the world urging us along
We can both take our time and walk toward the dawn
Outside the window, the sky is beginning to glow
You are still asleep, your breathing soft and long
The book on the table still rests on yesterday's page
I sit outside the door, no longer in a hurry
Some roads we each must slowly walk alone
Some doors can wait until you wish to open them
I leave a little lamp glowing in the heart of the night
Waiting for you to wake, and waiting for my own heart to find its place
A little light released within a dream
Lives in your heart, and rests upon mine
No need to answer now, no need to reach the distant shore
One day, we will both find our way into the dawn
Love can be very quiet
And it can be full of light
A little light
Between us
Not far
Not afraid
