Where the Light Gets Through

If I wake up early
Silence is a friend
Darkness an invitation
To begin again
But it still feels empty
This place you left behind
Still everything about it
Brings you to my mind
Were you the bird I saw
Sitting on the fence
Hard to comprehend
That you are gone at all
So, you were the bird I saw
Sitting on the fence
Please come again
So you’re not gone at all
Wish I got to say, wish I got to tell you
That my heart breaks all the time too
I wish that you stayed, I wish I could show you
The place where the light gets through
I wonder if the thunder
You heard was just like mine
And why couldn’t you hang on a little longer,
And why could I?
And you wouldn’t believe it,
I bet you’d be surprised
That it makes me feel better
When I look through your eyes
You are the bird I saw
Sitting on the fence
Hard to comprehend
So you're not gone at all
Wish I got to say, Wish I got to tell you
That my heart breaks all the time too
I wish that you stayed, I wish I could show you
The place where the light gets through
The light gets through
The light gets through
