I pray.1

[Verse 1] Autumn sky, as always, with silver streaks of grey Emptiness. The streets have all just faded away The city bows to the storm's cruel reign You are sad, and your eyes, so full of sorrow's weight Watch the desperate, beautiful birds migrate Flying off to somewhere far, again [Chorus] What can I do to help you let him go And all the time we had to suffer through, so slow? Let the night bind everything in longing, thick and deep The autumn rain will fall and wash away every trace I will learn to love you, I will learn to love But every day I'll whisper it to your face Don't leave me here alone, don't give me back to him For this, I pray... a silent hymn [Verse 2] Leaves are turning, gold and rust, beneath the fading light Your reflection in the window, pale and quiet tonight I trace the glass, a ghost of what we were You speak his name like winter's breath, a chill I can't endure But I am standing here, my hands are open, pure A shelter from the cold that still occurs [Bridge] And if the world grows darker, if the wind begins to howl I'll be the steady heartbeat beneath the falling shroud No storm can steal the promise that I'm making now [Chorus] What can I do to help you let him go And all the time we had to suffer through, so slow? Let the night bind everything in longing, thick and deep The autumn rain will fall and wash away every trace I will learn to love you, I will learn to love But every day I'll whisper it to your face Don't leave me here alone, don't give me back to him For this, I pray... a silent hymn [Outro] The rain will fall, the birds will fly But I will stay beneath this sky Don't leave me, love, don't let me dim For this, I pray... for this, I pray...
