Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Took the phone call
Got the news
Didn’t move
Met my old friend
Death
Pulled up a chair in the living room
Had a long talk
About the plans I never made
About all the names I never called
And the love I always save
[Chorus]
I said a few prayers
Then I took a walk
Down the cracked old sidewalk where the shadows stop
Felt the silence
Felt the hope
Every step a quiet joke
Took a walk
And left for home
[Verse 2]
He asked me gently
“Are you scared of being through?”
I said
“I’m scared of all the days
I don’t say ‘I love you’”
So we traded stories
Like two kids skipping stones
He said
“Every ending
Just sends someone back to their own”
[Chorus]
I said a few prayers
Then I took a walk
Past the leaning fences and the corner shop
Felt the silence
Felt the hope
In the way the branches spoke
Took a walk
And left for home
[Bridge]
Streetlight hum
My keys in my hand (oh)
Breath in my chest like a brand-new plan
I’m not ready
But I’m less alone
Knowing one day he’ll walk me home
[Chorus]
I said a few prayers
Then I took a walk
With the cool night air and the ticking clock
Felt the silence
Felt the hope
Like a hand upon my throat
Took a walk
Yeah
I took that walk
Took a walk
And headed home
