I Talk to You in the Dark

The house goes still at midnight When the world has gone to sleep And every wall starts breathing With the memories I keep Your picture by the window Catches moonlight like a spark That’s when I start talking… Talking in the dark

I say the things I should’ve When the days were still our own

I talk to you in the dark Like you’re sitting right here Like the night knows your footsteps Like the wind still hears Every word that I never said Every scar in my heart I swear you’re somewhere listening When I talk in the dark

The old men once believed When a soul leaves the land It walks the silent valleys Just beyond where we stand Like the warriors of Sparta Or the riders of the plains Waiting past the mountains Past the dust and past the rain

So if the night grows quiet And the stars begin to spark

I talk to you in the dark Like you’re sitting right here Like the night knows your footsteps Like the wind still hears Every word that I never said Every scar in my heart I swear you’re somewhere listening When I talk in the dark

They say the dead are gone forever But the old stories disagree Romans wrote of echoes Living in eternity Maybe love’s a language Death can’t tear apart Maybe heaven hears us When we talk in the dark

I talk to you in the dark Where the lost voices roam Where the miles between worlds Start to feel like home And if the trail keeps going Beyond what eyes can see Keep a fire burning… Till the night brings me
