Inspired by a friend whose husband died one year ago. About not being ready to let go. Some of the details are a composite of her and other people in the same situation.
Lyrics
verse:
Was it just a dream
Or were you there?
I could hear your voice
And smell your hair
verse:
Was it just a dream
Or did you come back?
I've left your things the way they were,
Your coat still on the rack.
chorus:
I don't know what I've been waiting for.
I keep expecting you to walk in the door
verse:
Your tools still on the bench,
Your books on the shelves.
I've left your things the way they were
So I'm not by myself.
chorus
verse:
After all these years
No one can take your place.
I wait for my dreams to come
So I can see your face.
chorus
