[Verse 1]
Am C The air was warm where he used to stand, G D Golden days slipped like grains of sand. Am C Now a shadow wears his name, G D A stranger, yet somehow the same.
(Whispered harmonies: “Where did you go? Why did you stray?”)
[Chorus]
C G And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away, Am E I try to reach him, but he won’t stay. C G The space between us keeps growing wide, Am E I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Verse 2]
Am C A storm brews quiet beneath his skin, G D A battle rages, but it won’t let me in. Am C His laughter’s a ghost, his words grow cold, G D A story untold, slipping from his hold.
(Whispered harmonies: “Do you hear me? Can you feel me?”)
[Chorus]
C G And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away, Am E I try to reach him, but he won’t stay. C G The space between us keeps growing wide, Am E I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Bridge]
F Each strum of the strings carries time undone, G Each note is a thread to the fading sun. Am He’s trapped in the tides of his own despair, E And I’m reaching for a shadow that isn’t there.
(Whispered harmonies: “Hold on, come back…”)
[Chorus]
C G And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away, Am E I try to reach him, but he won’t stay. C G The space between us keeps growing wide, Am E I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Outro]
C G Still, I wait by the golden shore, F Am Hoping the light will break once more. C G And if the veil should ever fall, F E I’ll be here to answer his call.
