I looked down at a sparkling band

And only saw my mother's hand

The things I've earned

They never came too cheap

But then the likeness only goes so deep As clouds approach the facing shore

And although two pairs of shoes sit by the door

I can't pretend, I don't descend

I know I should be joyful now, but time means nothing

Only the love you gave to me will save me, I think she knew I raise my voice and shake the walls

But if I chance to cry at all

I hope you hear me now

I'm coming through I looked down at a twist of lace

And only saw my father's face

The things we shared

Have hurt us both so much sometimes

We each go places love can't touch A calendar marks days to keep

The moon shone down upon chill waters running deep

The veil so thin that light poured in

The sight was so astonishing, that time meant nothing

Only a kiss that felt like this could move me, I think she knew I raise my voice and shake the walls

But if I chance to cry at all

I hope you hear me now

I'm coming through I raise my voice and shake the walls

But if I chance to cry at all

I hope you hear me now

I'm coming through
