lyrics

Always With Her

The woman at the dry cleaner opens an old photograph
She keeps taped inside a locket on a keychain
Carefully she sets it on a shelf above her jacket
High enough that she can feel he's looking down, watching over her
While she's working the morning sun is rising
Honey-yellow light is spilling warmly through the windows
She looks out at the traffic moving slowly through the street
People quickly walking on the sidewalk that goes by outside the door

She's dreaming, thinking of a place she's never been
Leaving footprints in the sand along the ocean
Dancing in the sunset as waves roll in to greet her
Chasing flocks of seagulls that fly away and scatter to the sky
That's above her, stretching out as far as she can see
To the glowing clouds that burn on the horizon
Reflected in the eyes of someone standing beside her
Who reaches in the twilight, and puts a tiny sea shell in her hand

Pages of newspaper, old stories no one cares to read
Blowing down the empty sidewalk in the evening
She hangs on to the dream a moment longer, then she rises
Takes the locket from the shelf, puts on her jacket, and then reaches for her cane
As she's leaving, she stops outside to look up at the sky
No hurry getting home since no one's there to greet her
She never feels alone, she knows he's Always With Her
Reaching for the locket, instead she finds a seashell and some sand
