From the recording Rising
Lyrics
Finally there is peace in this house tonight
Everyone gave up and went to their cozy, cozy spaces
Since you’ve been gone all we’ve been doing is pacing
By this door, hoping once more it might open
And carry the echo of your sweet laughter
Your sweet laughter
Empty room, the hard wood floor is creaking
A half drank glass of water by the side of the bed
I can’t seem to bring myself to move a thing
If I leave it there, you might still be here
And I won’t miss the echo of your sweet laughter
Your sweet laughter
The sounds of sleep are all around me
My eyes wide open to these long night with heavy sighs
I’ll probably wake up to another foggy morning
Where I think I catch a brief white shadow
And hear the faint echo of your sweet laughter
Your sweet laughter
Does it ever get any easier
Does this empty gnawing ache ever cease
Tonight I pray that you are safe and well
And maybe someday I’ll get to hear your sweet laughter
Your sweet laughter
Finally there is peace in this house tonight
Everyone gave up and went to their cozy, cozy spaces
I guess it’s time for me to let go
And cover up these keys and close my eyes
And remember the lullaby of your sweet laughter
Your sweet laughter
