Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your boots still sit by the kitchen door Laces tied the way you left them I try to hear your voice in the floorboards Only silence answers when I question I walk the road you used to drive Past the field where you taught me shifting Replay your laugh It blurs each time Like an old tape always skipping [Chorus] I’ve been walking in your shadow On a path you couldn’t stay Reaching out for what I can’t hold Words I’ll never hear you say I’m done drowning in the sorrow Let your darkness end with you I’m still walking in your shadow But I’m walking toward the blue [Verse 2] Photos fade on the hallway wall Smiles stuck in their own weather I mouth your name Then lose the sound It slips right through like a feather Some nights I sit in your old truck Hands on the wheel where yours were resting I let the quiet fill me up Till my heartbeat does the confessing [Chorus] I’ve been walking in your shadow On a path you couldn’t stay Reaching out for what I can’t hold Words I’ll never hear you say I’m done drowning in the sorrow Let your missing swallow through I’m still walking in your shadow But I’m walking toward the blue [Bridge] You left a weight I couldn’t carry I tried to wear your hurt like skin Now I leave flowers by the headstone Then turn around Breathe in [Chorus] I’m still walking in your shadow But the sun is on my face I forgive the part of you that Couldn’t ever find this place I will laugh and I will stumble I will love and break in two I’m still walking in your shadow But I’m living for me (and a little for you)
