💌I Was Ready to Love You Track 7

I Was Ready to Love You

 

Verse 1  

I covered you with quiet hope  

in nights that never saw your face.  

I spoke to you in softened tones,  

though you would never speak to me.  

You had no body, had no name –  

but still, you had a home in me.

 

Refrain  

An empty space upon my windowsill,  

a light that never needed to be turned off.  

 

Verse 2  

I counted days for no clear reason,  

brushed away thoughts like passing clouds.  

I saw you once among the branches,  

in every silent newborn dawn.  

No life began – but love remained.  

Like water that won’t fall –  

yet glistens.

 

Refrain  

An empty space upon my windowsill,  

a light that never needed to be turned off.  

 

Bridge  

A name I never spoke aloud –  

but always felt.  

And in my heart –  

no “should have”, no “might have” –  

just a quiet,  

„I was ready to love you.“

 

Refrain (last, altered)  

An empty space upon my windowsill,  

a light that still burns in the quiet of me.

 

Outro (spoken)  

My child –  

You never lived.  

But you had meaning.
