I drift through the window, the years fade slow Their laughter lights rooms I'll never know Hands once trembling now hold the Sun They built the world I died too young I whisper names they never hear But every smile still pulls me near A wedding song, a newborn's cry The seasons spin, the stars reply Their faces soften, lined with grace While I remain a frozen trace Their joy's a fire, mine's the smoke A silent heart that never broke They kept living, I stayed still Bound to the wind, chained by will They grew old, their stories deep I'm the shadow time won't keep They sit by the fire, the night turns thin They talk of the boy I might've been Their laughter fades into quiet rain And still I linger, bound by name Their candles burn, I watch the glow The light I lost so long ago They kept living, I stayed still Bound to the wind, chained by will They grew old, their stories deep I'm the shadow time won't keep They kept living, I stayed still Bound to the wind, chained by will They grew old, their stories deep I'm the shadow time won't keep
