Shadows in Silver

Verse 1

I woke before the sun had made it through the blinds

Cup of coffee on the counter left behind

Your scarf still on the hook where you always hung your coat

Same worn collar I've been staring at for months and months

The window fog is clearing slow as water down a drain

I'm watching shadows stretch across these four white walls again

Pre-Chorus

What's it mean when dawn starts rising through the blinds?

Is that sun light enough to leave behind all of this time?

Chorus

Shadows in silver turning gold and slow

Watching mornings come without you here to show

Sunrise on an empty room, sunrise on my chest

Shadows in silver, I don't know what else to do but rest

Verse 2

Dust keeps rising from the old piano in the hall

Your favorite record's spinning soft and slow at all

I run a finger over your name on the mirror wall

Same soft touch you used when we were holding hands through it all

The street outside is quiet like the sea before the tide

But every windowpane I look out feels like water starting to divide

Pre-Chorus

What's it mean when dawn starts rising through the blinds?

Is that sun light enough to leave behind all of this time?

Chorus

Shadows in silver turning gold and slow

Watching mornings come without you here to show

Sunrise on an empty room, sunrise on my chest

Shadows in silver, I don't know what else to do but rest

Bridge

Maybe the sun just doesn't shine like it used to glow

Maybe the only thing that's moving is this quiet and slow

I'm not leaving, not yet at least

Just watching you disappear behind these morning trees

Chorus

Shadows in silver turning gold and slow

Watching mornings come without you here to show

Sunrise on an empty room, sunrise on my chest

Shadows in silver, I don't know what else to do but rest

Outro

Fading light through the blinds

Just shadows in my mind
