Time was passing 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
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
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
Life's a passing 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
