Name on the Heart

[Intro] Soft rain taps the window where your image stays Footsteps of you in the hallway of my days A name on my tongue like a worn hymn I reclaim In the silence I hear you calling me by your flame [Verse 1] I close my eyes and travel back to our yesterdays Moonlit vows traced in silver on the edge of pain Your laughter rings through rooms that time forgot to save I whisper promises to the wind: I will wait, I will brave [Pre-Chorus] If distance is a river, your memory is the shore I touch the edge of you and find I crave you more [Chorus] Your name burns softly on my heart's long night I keep you close, despite the quiet miles between our light Love letters in the skies, I reread them in the rain I vow to carry you forever, through sorrow and through gain [Verse 2] Nights dreamt with you feel louder than the waking days I map the constellations of our almost-whispered plans The hours stretch like tides until I hear you say my name And in that breath, I find a home that always stays the same [Pre-Chorus] If memory is a compass, you’re the northern star I chase I cling to your tenderness in every crowded place [Chorus] Your name burns softly on my heart's long night I keep you close, despite the quiet miles between our light Love letters in the skies, I reread them in the rain I vow to carry you forever, through sorrow and through gain [Bridge] You said forever, but even apart you bloom In every echo, every dawn, your light resumes I swear the vows we spoke will outlast the storm Till I can lay my hands on you again, where you belong [Chorus] Your name burns softly on my heart's long night I keep you close, despite the quiet miles between our light Love letters in the skies, I reread them in the rain I vow to carry you forever, through sorrow and through gain [Outro] Until the distance folds and we redefine this space I’ll cradle your memory, keep your name in warm embrace
