O Brighter - Take Your Place Lyrics

I saw you there on the made bed, gave you a hand up
And when you come to think of it, no day is enough
Took your hand to the window and showed you winterness
It had taken your strength up, but you gave me a push
A smile to the ceiling and the end of all innocence
Saw you dive out the window and in to morning mist
Did your footsteps lead to the drinking place
Did your soul renew or your heart feel grace
Or did time stand still and take your place
Saw you on the Hudson, frozen like a slip
New beam in your bright eyes, baby on the hip
Did you fall in the river or swim to the other side?
Did your footsteps lead to the drinking place
Did your soul renew or your heart feel grace
Or did time stand still and take your place
Did your eyes lock mine in the polaroid
Did you glimpse new life and lift the haze
Or did time stand still and take your place
Did the rivers swell to a spring tide
Did you glimpse new lands and hold your grace
Or did time stand still and take your place
Time stand still and take your place
Saw you on the old deck, raised up my glass
One hand to the tiller, one eye on the past
And did a perfect haze drift by the place and pass and pass and pass
Did it pass?
And did time stand still and take your place
Take your place
