Brave Old World

I wipe the ashes from the soles of my shoes
I step off the sidewalk, thinking of you
I light the candles in my makeshift shrine
The wind brushes in and dries the tears from my eyes

Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone

How I wonder
Do you wonder where you are?
To keep your thoughts
I think your thoughts
You're not here

Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone

I wonder
Do you wonder?

I breathe my warm breath on the windowpane
I scratch at the glass and leave the script of your name
I sleep with shadows and I search for your scent
They lay where you lay but can't replace what you meant

Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It's a brave old world
Even though you're gone
Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone
