Sundial in amber (wersja 2)

Verse

Sunlight climbs the windows where we used to sit

Shadows stretch across your empty chair

I set the sundial on the sill that morning light catches

Pinned to the hour when you said you'd stay

The dust is moving slow through the dust motes, dancing

Your socks still hang by the hooks you didn't take

Pre-Chorus

What time do we lose what's left of yesterday?

Can I hold this breath till you get here today?

Chorus

Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time

Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind

Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light

Hold me steady through the long and waiting night

Verse

The door creaks soft where you stepped out, came back in

Your keys on the counter clinking like a sign

I folded your sweater like I'd fold a prayer

Kept it warm by the radiator

Pre-Chorus

What time do we lose what's left of yesterday?

Can I hold this breath till you get here today?

Chorus

Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time

Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind

Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light

Hold me steady through the long and waiting night

Bridge

Maybe I'm just holding on to the shape

Not the shadow that moves but the line you left there

Maybe what's keeping time is not moving at all

Just my heart turning in circles around your memory

Chorus

Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time

Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind

Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light

Hold me steady through the long and waiting night
