In the winter's crystal whisper
Hangs the heartache
Of your quiet song
I can hear ya draw me nearer
Echo of ya still going strong
I can't believe you're gone
Come the springtime
When the windchime
Sings a warm breeze
From the barren miles
From the oak tree
Where you broke me
With a kind word
And a knowing smile
I hear you breathe a while
And you shone so damn brightly
And all that you awoke inside me
Is dancing in the dark without a song
You shone so damn brightly
And you beheld and recognised me
Though I was standing two feet in the wrong
You knew where we belonged
And the light found
Never died down
Open eyed now
I've been looking hard
Are you aching, like I'm aching?
Trying to make your peace
And take another chance
To make it right at last?
You shone so damn brightly
And all that you awoke inside me
Is dancing in the dark without a song
And you shone so damn brightly
I know you fought a war to find me
And I was standing two feet in the wrong
You knew where we belonged
And you shone so damn brightly
You shone so damn brightly
