Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I lit a flame and called your name
But the wind just turned away
The night fell in like heavy rain
And the stars forgot to stay
[Verse 2]
I kept a place for something kind
In a house I built from pain
But love was late, or love was blind
And nothing ever came
[Chorus]
So I wait by the fire
Where your shadow should appear
With my hands on the wire
Still hoping you’d be near
But the sky won’t speak
And the dark feels just the same
I gave my heart to silence —
And nothing ever came
[Verse 3]
I heard your voice behind the trees
Or maybe I just dreamed
It fades like smoke upon the breeze
Too far to touch, it seems
[Chorus]
So I wait by the fire
Where your shadow should appear
With my hands on the wire
Still hoping you’d be near
But the sky won’t speak
And the dark feels just the same
I gave my heart to silence —
And nothing ever came
[Outro]
I lit a flame and called your name
But the night just turned away
