Original lyrics
ENI don't have the words
So I lay down the day
Every name
Every hurt
On the floor where I pray
I don't have a map
Just this worn-out chair
All my fear in my hands
All my hope in the air
This is my long prayer
Every breath spelled out
Every silent tear
Every whispered doubt
I will stay right here
Till the inght feels kind
This is my long prayer
You can read my mind
I remember the calls
That never came back
Empty plates on the stove
Coats hung on the rack
I remember the laughs
That still haunt these halls
So I fold them in trust
Set them down
Let them fall
This is my long prayer
Every breath spelled out
Every silent tear
Every whispered doubt
I will stay right here
Till the night feels kind
This is my long prayer
You can read my mind
If all I can say is: Stay
If all I can breathe is: Help
Take the pieces I can't hold
Be the strength I can't find myself
This is my long prayer
Every breath spelled out
Every silent tear
Every whispered doubt
I will stay right here
Till the dark unwinds
This is my long prayer
You can read my mind
