The World Kept Turning Anyway

The morning came without you Like it didn’t understand The coffee still kept steaming In the same old cup and hand A truck rolled down the highway A dog barked far away And I stood there in the kitchen While the world began its day

Funny how the sun still rises After hearts fall down

The world kept turning anyway The sky still found its blue The river kept on moving Like it never carried you The town lights came on Friday Like nothing slipped away But everything inside me Stopped that day

The wheat still bends in summer The snow still finds the ground Kids still laugh in playgrounds Trains still pass through town The clock still hits the hours The moon still climbs the hill But the place you used to stand in Is somehow standing still

A man can lose the sunlight Even while it shines

The world kept turning anyway The sky still found its blue The river kept on moving Like it never carried you The town lights came on Friday Like nothing slipped away But everything inside me Stopped that day

The old men say that living Is a promise you must keep Even when the road gets quiet Even when you weep So I walk into tomorrow Though my heart still stays In the moment that the world Turned away

The world kept turning anyway The seasons kept their pace But every mile I travel Still carries your face And if time keeps moving forward Like the preachers always say I’ll meet you where the road stops One day
