Sundial Heart

Verse

Every window here is wide and bright

I set my coffee down on the sill tonight

The sundial on the porch is worn and old

But I still turn to face the light that's gold

It climbs across the wall like slow applause

For every sunrise, I've never been a pause

The room grows quiet when you finally sleep

And I feel your shadow slide along the floor and creep

I know it sounds strange, but this is how I'm wired

Every dawn brings me closer to what's higher

The stars go dark in your eyes, but they still guide me

This old sundial tells a different kind of history

Pre-Chorus

What if all that's left behind isn't what I lose?

What if it's just the light my heart can choose

Chorus

I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around

Every morning brings me back to what I found

In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep

This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps

Verse

The clock above the door keeps ticking slow

But yours is the only heartbeat I know

Your favorite book lies open where you left it

And I can't help but turn to that page in print

I'm still holding what we shared like a candle flame

Watching how far it shines through all the time and shame

The roof above us leaks a golden glow

Into this room, and into my bones, somehow

Pre-Chorus

What if all that's left behind isn't what I lose?

What if it's just the light my heart can choose

Chorus

I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around

Every morning brings me back to what I found

In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep

This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps

Bridge

Maybe leaving means I get a little more sunlight

Every step forward is one less shadowed night

Your hand may be gone, but it's still guiding me

To the part where our horizon just begins to meet the sea

Chorus

I'm not lost when you go — I'm just turned around

Every morning brings me back to what I found

In your eyes, a piece of home I'll always keep

This sundial heart beats on and never sleeps
