Verse
The house is quiet, the halls are long
I’m still waiting for your favorite song
The porch light flickers, the coffee is cold
But I’ve got a heart that’s growing old
I watch the driveway, I watch the gate
Still learning how to carry this weight
Chorus
Oh, the spirit moves but the body stays
Counting the rhythm of the lonely days
I’m still here, faithful and true
Just a shadow waiting on you
Yes, I’m still here, waiting on you
Verse
Your slippers are gone, your coat is away
But I hear your footsteps at the end of the day
I rest my chin on the empty side of the bed
Repeating the prayers that you once said
A loyal soldier in a silent room
Chasing the light through the evening gloom
Chorus
Oh, the spirit moves but the body stays
Counting the rhythm of the lonely days
I’m still here, faithful and true
Just a shadow waiting on you
Yes, I’m still here, waiting on you
