Lyrics
Verse 1
The porch light flickers
The wind it moans
Through cracks in walls
This house ain't home
Shadows stretch
Lean long on the floor
Each creak a whisper
A closing door
Chorus
The porch light flickers
Calling me back
To memories lost on a railroad track
Faint as a heartbeat
Strong as regret
A light that won't let me forget
Verse 2
Old letters scatter like leaves in the fall
I read them aloud
But they say nothing at all
Your voice in my head
Soft as a sigh
Why'd you leave without goodbye?
Prechorus
Cold hands
Cold heart
The same old ache tears me apart
Chorus
The porch light flickers
Calling me back
To memories lost on a railroad track
Faint as a heartbeat
Strong as regret
A light that won't let me forget
Bridge
The stars won't answer
The moon turns away
The sky just watches as I kneel and pray
For one more moment
One second more
But silence settles like dust on the floor
