[Verse 1]
Time was pa**ing slowly
In the crisp November air
I was breathing out the autumn
Resting in our rocking chair
The morn rose from your amber eyes
Your warmth filled up the room
How I wish I'd told you, softly
There's no home here without you
[Verse 2]
In the winter evening hardens
As it freezes autumn's sun
The light that blossomed from your eyes
Wilted, wordless, day was done
Left with nothing but your echo
As I pace the empty rooms
How I wish I'd told you, softly
There's no home here without you
[Verse 3]
Time holds up a broken mirror
And it beats a broken drum
I'm not proud of who I was then
Or the man that I've become
Could I trace the lines back down again
Find the man that you once knew
I would tell him to remember
There's no home here without you
[Verse 4]
Life's a pa**ing dalliance
So our distance slowly grew
There are words that I could live without
There are times I would undo
There are moments in the evenings
When the memories slip through
And I'd wish to tell you, softly
There's a home still here for you
