Golden Embers

Just like an old friend
Kinder than expected
That cadillac came
Gave our girl the ride
Loss has no end
It binds to our connection
And we don't speak of it
We don't even try

If you could help me
To share the trouble
That you've got burning in you
You can help me
And in our time together
Her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night

I miss the old hymns
When she used to sing
The sparrows spread their mortal wings
For now they've all lighted
With the silence of strings
Like notes on the pages
She breathed life into all things

If you could help me
To share the trouble
That you've got burning in you
Then you can help me
And in our time together
Her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night

Just like an old friend
Reach out to me
Bathe me in the light
Of understanding

And try to help me
To share the trouble
But you've got burning in you
You can help me
And in our time together
Her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night
