"Gone" lyrics

You always come to meet me in the morning
You change with the angle of the light
You slip into my dreams without warning
In the middle of the night
Without permission without guidance
You sanctify the darkness before dawn
You rise like a prayer out of the silence
It's a year now, you've been gone

You linger in the steam on a summer sidewalk
You sing in the laughter of a child
You're the part of me that I thought was missing
In my eyes before I smile
You rest inside the rhythm of my breathing
You're anchored to the marrow of my bones
Deeper than doubt or disbelieving
It's a year now, you've been gone

You hum beneath the wheels on endless highways
You rise from the ashes of regret
You show up in the shadow of my memory
As the sun begins to set
You're stitched into the lining of my losses
Your name is carved into a stone
Under shooting stars and empty crosses
It's a year now, you've been gone
