The Cabin and the Stars

I came out here for two,

Had a table set for us by name.

Poured the sauce, said grace for both,

But only my voice came.

Radio low, Pink Floyd spinning,

Memories in surround.

Tried to smile, but my chest got tight,

And the tears came down.

Cause lately you were sunlight,

Laughing in my hands.

Kissing in the crosswalk,

Pulling me into your plans.

You looked at me like maybe

I was finally enough -

Then silence hit like winter,

And I'm standing here with all this love.

But the night sky don't ghost me,

The Lord don't leave me on read.

There's a billion little lanterns

Burning over my head.

So I sit here with my heartbreak,

And I let myself fall apart,

Cause I'm not really alone at all -

Not with Jesus

And the cabin

And the stars.

Spaghetti on a paper plate,

Italian sausage, jar of hope.

Water in a solo cup,

Trying hard to cope.

I'm crying and I'm thanking Him,

both at the same time,

Cause it still hurts, but I'm still held,

And somehow that's divine.

Yeah, the night sky don't ghost me,

The Lord don't leave me on read.

There's a billion little lanterns

Burning over my head.

So I sit here with my heartbreak,

And I let myself fall apart,

Cause I'm not really alone at all -

Not with Jesus

And the cabin

And the stars.

Maybe love ain't gone,

Maybe it's just paused.

Maybe God's still working

Where my eyes can't see the cause.

And maybe this ache in my chest right now

Is proof that my heart still cares -

Proof I've still got something real to give,

Even if she's not there.

Cause the night sky won't ghost me,

My God won't walk away.

He sits with me in silence

When I don't know what to pray.

So I point that old telescope upward,

And I hand Him all these scars -

And I remember I am loved tonight,

Right here in the cabin

Under all these stars.
