Nicole Atkins

Darkness Falls So Quiet

All that I have left is the sound of my own breath

And then darkness falls so quiet

Here's a feeling I've had many times before

Every time you leave it's your arms that I bereave

Then the next time to leave's yours

I watch the ghosts of your footsteps by our door

When I come back home

I sing stories to the shadows on our walls

Looming menacingly

You used to save me from my darkest mind

When you still had the time

All that I have left is the sound of my own breath

And then darkness falls so quiet

But the loneliness can have it's own allure

I can keep the quiet and keep myself inside

Cuz my records are old friends

I have trusted in them many times before

When I sleep alone

I sing stories to the shadows on our walls

Looming menacingly

You used to save me from my darkest mind

When you still had the time

I wish that we weren't away

I wish that we'd stay the same

But hoping means nothin'

As darkness turns into day

All that I have left is the sound of my own breath

And the darkness of the road

Moving faster with so many miles to go

Try to keep it up darling don't forget our love

When darkness falls so quiet

My heart will be the only home you know

When you come back home

Sing some stories to the shadows on our walls

Looming menacingly

I used to save you from your darkest mind

When I still had the time

When you sleep alone

Sing some stories to the shadows on our walls

Looming menacingly

I used to save you from your darkest mind

When I still had the time
