Lyrics

Verse

The porch swing creaks in the evening air
I still see your shadow sitting there
The garden grows wild, the weeds run high
Underneath a heavy, silent sky

Chorus

Oh, the years go by like a river wide
With no one left to walk by my side
I’m watching the sun sink low and red
Counting the moments since you were dead

Verse

I rest my head on your old wool coat
And catch the words that you never wrote
My tail thumps slow on the wooden floor
Waiting for your key to turn the door

Chorus

Oh, the years go by like a river wide
With no one left to walk by my side
I’m watching the sun sink low and red
Counting the moments since you were dead

Bridge

My muzzle is white and my eyes are dim
The light in the hallway is growing slim
I’ll sleep by the hearth til the fire goes cold
Living out stories that we never told

Chorus

Oh, the years go by like a river wide
With no one left to walk by my side
I’m watching the sun sink low and red
Counting the moments since you were dead
