Brave Old World
I wipe the ashes from the soles of my shoes
I step off the sidewalk, thinking of you
I light the candles in my makeshift shrine
The wind brushes in and dries the tears from my eyes
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone
How I wonder
Do you wonder where you are?
To keep your thoughts
I think your thoughts
You're not here
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone
I wonder
Do you wonder?
I breathe my warm breath on the windowpane
I scratch at the glass and leave the script of your name
I sleep with shadows and I search for your scent
They lay where you lay but can't replace what you meant
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone
