[Verse 1]
The sun dips low, paints the sky in red,
The quiet hum of the fields ahead.
I walk this road, but it don’t feel right,
Your shadow’s gone in the fading light.
[Chorus]
I pray to heaven, keep you near,
Cause losing you’s my only fear.
Hold your name in every breath,
Keep you safe from time and death.
[Verse 2]
The old oak bends where we carved our names,
Its bark holds strong through the wind and flames.
But my hands feel weak, they can't hold the years,
So I send my heart up through my tears.
[Chorus]
I pray to heaven, keep you near,
Cause losing you’s my only fear.
Hold your name in every breath,
Keep you safe from time and death.
[Bridge]
If the river rises, if the stars burn out,
I’ll keep calling, I’ll keep that shout.
Through the storm, through the cold,
I’ll fight for you, ‘til my body grows old.
[Chorus]
I pray to heaven, keep you near,
Cause losing you’s my only fear.
Hold your name in every breath,
Keep you safe from time and death.
