Hollow Creek Light 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Your boots leave prints on the old wooden bridge where we used to talk at night

Bare feet still find them like a map I drew by heart's own light

The streetlamps cast shadows that stretch and fold across your face

And I remember how we held this whole town in its place

Not one inch gone before you left, not even a single stone

Pre-Chorus

But the creek don't forget

It's running slow, but it still knows my name

It carries every promise I ever made

Down to where the shadows turn to flame

Chorus

Hollow Creek Light, oh, we're not done yet

Hollow Creek Light, and I'll be watching for you

Sun will rise over those same old pines

We'll follow where the light comes through

Verse 2

Four years gone but the current never forgot

It brings up driftwood like a ghost I thought was lost

I find your initials carved into that worn old log

And suddenly we're standing right here, as if time stood still on the bog

The town's built new walls and a shiny new name

But in my bones this creek still holds our claim to fame

Every pebble remembers how we used to be

And I swear it hums a melody meant just for me

Pre-Chorus

But the creek don't forget

It's running slow, but it still knows my name

It carries every promise I ever made

Down to where the shadows turn to flame

Chorus

Hollow Creek Light, oh, we're not done yet

Hollow Creek Light, and I'll be watching for you

Sun will rise over those same old pines

We'll follow where the light comes through

Bridge

Maybe I don't need a map or an address to find you now

The creek's been talking all this time

I just had to quiet down my own heart long enough to listen

And now your shadow's stepping out of the dark and in behind me

Chorus

Hollow Creek Light, oh, we're not done yet

Hollow Creek Light, and I'll be watching for you

Sun will rise over those same old pines

We'll follow where the light comes through
