Left On The Road

Ash on my boots

Blood on my sleeve

Found your name

On a page I couldn’t read

Empty houses

Open doors that never close

Took what we needed

Left the rest for the crows

I keep walking like you’re up ahead

Like you’re just around the bend of this broken road

Your shadow’s all I’ve got instead

But I still save you

In the stories I don’t tell

If this is all that’s left of us

I’ll carry it well

Maps full of rips

Lines that end in rust

Voices on the radio

Turned back into dust

I dream you’re older

Arguing over something small

Wake up with your laughter

Fading in the hall

I keep walking like you’re up ahead

Like you’re just around the bend of this broken road

Your shadow’s all I’ve got instead

But I still save you

In the stories I don’t tell

If this is all that’s left of us

I’ll carry it well

If there’s a place

Where the world didn’t break

Where you don’t have to be brave

Just to watch the sun

I hope you made it

I hope you stayed

Keep a seat at the table

Till my miles are done (oh)

I keep walking like you’re up ahead

Like you’re just around the bend of this broken road

Your shadow’s all I’ve got instead

But I still save you

In the stories I don’t tell

If this is all that’s left of us

If this is all that’s left of us

I’ll carry it well
