LYRIC FOR SALE

By Delene Angeli

Morning comes but feels like night
Sun is up, I’ve lost the light
I still reach for you in my sleep
Like somehow you’re still here with me

Your shadow lingers in this place
Every wall still knows your face
I hear your voice in silent rooms
Stuck between the then and soon

They say time heals, but time just crawls
Every second feels like it falls

I’d trade my breath to hear you breathe
Give every prayer just to believe
The days are darker, nights unwind
Time moves slow, you’re on my mind
If love could pull you back in time
You’d be alive
you’d still be mine

I see you in the crowd somehow
In memories that won’t slow down
Your name echoes in my head
In every word I never said

I talk to stars like you’re around
Like you might hear me from the ground
My heart still waits, it can’t move on
Counting days since you’ve been gone

Every clock refuses speed
Dragging grief in front of me

I’d trade my breath to hear you breathe
Give every prayer just to believe
The days are darker, nights unwind
Time moves slow, you’re on my mind
If love could pull you back in time
You’d be alive
you’d still be mine

If I could steal one moment back
I’d hold you close, stay in that crack
Between goodbye and one last kiss
I’d live forever just in this

But forever passed, you slipped away
Left me here in shades of gray

I’d trade my breath to hear you breathe
Break the sky just to believe
The days are darker, nights rewind
Time stands still, you’re on my mind
If love could pull you back in time
You’d be alive
you’d still be mine

You’re gone, but still you shine
You never leave my mind
