Everglow

Oh, they say people come

And they say people go

This particular diamond was extra special

And though you might be gone

And the world may not know

Still I see you celestial

Like a lion you run, and a goddess you rolled

Like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple

So how come things move on

How come cars don’t slow

When it feels like the end of my world?

When I should but I can’t let you go?

When I’m cold, cold

When I’m cold, cold

There’s a light that you give me

When I’m in shadow

There’s a feeling you gave me

An everglow

Like brothers in blood, like sisters who ride

And we swore on that night we’d

Be friends till we died

But the changing of winds

And the way waters flow

Life as short as the falling of snow

And now I’m gonna miss you, I know

When I’m cold, cold

In waters rolled, salt

I know that you’re with me

And the way you will show

And you’re with me wherever I go

'Cause you gave me this feeling

This everglow

So if you love someone

You should let them know

Oh, the light that you left me

Will everglow
