These Days 歌词

That girl from way back when She didn’t know what she had She didn’t know who she was All she ever did was depend on your love, your love Love of a mother, sister Love that was fierce and true Love of a martyr, soldier Love I imperfectly knew for a time I look up from the days that pass And find my tears have fogged the hourglass And realize these days are so much shorter Since you’ve been gone But I'm standing much taller than I had before Who knew that your shoulders Stayed beneath my feet all along Maybe that door never closed Memories that hold me fast Wash up upon my mind Like tea leaves in my mug Like chocolate strawberry Smiles we once shared back then I stand in awestruck of your Backbone of peace and light I reach back for your power To persevere through this fight one more day Then I look in the mirror and see That everyday you’re looking back at me And realize these days are so much shorter Since you’ve been gone But I'm standing much taller than I had before Who knew that your shoulders Stayed beneath my feet all along Maybe that door never closed Ah Marie, you fought the good fight With the softness of the haze glow From the rainbow jettisoned from a bitter storm From this cruel providence The fortitude of your strength was magic Nothing short of magic What you brought, magic What you left, magic In my heart where you will always stay And realize these days are so much shorter Since you’ve been gone But I'm standing much taller than I had before Who knew that your shoulders Stayed beneath my feet all along Maybe that door never closed These days my heart has grown fonder with distance and time Never knowing the fullness of your love in this life I always wonder if I would be the same if you could’ve stayed These days are so much shorter But I'm standing, I'm standing much taller Right on your shoulders, right on your shoulders I always wonder if I would be the same if you could have stayed
