Verse 1
Morning light came soft and gold
Through the window by the door,
You were somewhere far behind your eyes
Before you’d said a word.
Verse 2
The till hummed on between us,
Small and patient, unaware,
That the biggest thing all morning
Was about to hang there in the air.
Chorus
In case you didn’t know,
He’s a shadow of himself now,
Nothing left to fight,
Just time, and nothing else.
In case you didn’t know,
It’s one more journey coming,
And soon he’s on his way,
On a road that’s his alone.
Verse 3
The words were out and spoken,
Too big for you to hold,
So you set them down between us,
Like a story that’s been told.
Verse 4
I walked back to the house,
Kettle on, hands still shook,
Told my wife what you told me,
Word for word, the way you spoke.
Chorus (repeat)
In case you didn’t know,
He’s a shadow of himself now,
Nothing left to fight,
Just time, and nothing else.
In case you didn’t know,
It’s one more journey coming,
And soon he’s on his way,
On a road that’s his alone.
Bridge
We’re all just carrying something,
Behind an ordinary face,
Some folks it’s Tuesday shopping,
Some folks it’s one last journey,
One more road to face.
Final Chorus
In case you didn’t know,
There’s nothing left to fight now,
Just time, and love,
And one more journey still to go.
