Graveyard gates
Another spring sun warms the grass
I trace the names in leaning stone
Arrived again
Another year has passed
Called here
Somehow less alone
I keep returning to the graveyard gates
Where the world moves slow
Where the heart still waits
Every tear I left
Every whispered plea
Turns to quiet strength inside of me
I keep returning
Finding what I miss
In memories steady
Soft and honest
Long journey
That winding way of sorrow
Step by step
It changed my feet
For so many years that felt like borrowed
Time that never felt complete
I keep returning to the graveyard gates
Where the world moves slow
Where the heart still waits
Every tear I left
Every whispered plea
Turns to quiet strength inside of me
I keep returning
Finding what I miss
In memories steady
Soft and honest
Graveyard Gates
Graveyard Gates
