Oh your words pulse beneath my chest
And steal the breath I've known
But I can't tell you why
Or even where it all had gone
When it was lost among the leaves

I feel all the bright wings coming home
And I'll feel alone enough to know
You must have been an image
Of something to follow
I swear I'm lost without you
But you'll never know

You heard it pass down through the river
And it made every bone stir and shake
And although this one may feel different
There's no way to tell, way to tell

(You held onto all those lies
That told you to fall and let the river
Catch you)

(You said I'm always by your side
You said there's shadows walking by)

I feel all the bright wings coming home
And I'll feel alone enough to know
You must have been an image
Of something to follow
I swear I'm lost without you
But you'll never know
