[Verse 1] I found your letter in the sewing drawer Beneath blue thread and a button from before The paper bent where your careful hands had pressed A little map of everything you left [Pre-Chorus] I read it by the window after rain Your crooked joke still sounds the same [Chorus] If I could tell you where the years have gone I’d say they taught me how to carry on Not by forgetting what we couldn’t save But by making room for every word you gave And when the quiet settles through the room I feel your kindness making something bloom [Verse 2] I take the long way past the neighborhood The jacaranda leans just as it should A tailor’s light is shining on the wall The same small world, yet changed beyond recall [Pre-Chorus] I keep my questions, let the answers wait Some doors grow gentle with the weight of age [Chorus] If I could tell you where the years have gone I’d say they taught me how to carry on Not by forgetting what we couldn’t save But by making room for every word you gave And when the quiet settles through the room I feel your kindness making something bloom [Bridge] There are days I speak your name aloud Not for the past, but for the here and now A thread can break and still become a seam A distant voice can guide a waking dream [Final Chorus] If I could tell you where the years have gone I’d say they taught me how to carry on I hold the sorrow softly, not as proof But as a window opening onto truth And when the morning gathers in the room I feel your kindness making something bloom [Outro] A little map, a folded page Still leading me from age to age
