No Sound but Goodbye

I set two plates just like before

Still reach for you when I hear the door

But it's just the wind playin' cruel and sly

There's no sound now but goodbye

You're the hush in my hall the cold in my bed

A name I whisper a tear I shed

I keep the porch light low just in case

But it's just shadows now and empty space

Your scent still clings to the cotton sheets

Like a ghost that visits but never speaks

I press my lips to your old shirt sleeve

But even memory learns to leave

You're the hush in my hall the cold in my bed

A name I whisper a tear I shed

I keep the porch light low just in case

But it's just shadows now and empty space

If love was a fire we let it freeze

If time was mercy it dropped to its knees

I played the fool you played the part

Now silence is singin' to my broken heart

You're the hush in my hall the cold in my bed

The echo of dreams we never said

I keep the porch light low though I know why

There's no sound left now

But goodbye
