Kindness Heroic (Single Version) Lyrics

With kindness, heroic

Carrying the last half a century

You shone a light past what I was too young to see

Traipsing through worn paths

Chartered only in your memory

You cherished those warm days

They brought you back into the comfort of youthful beauty

That old closed off fireplace

Against the faint white sheen in the softly falling air

The new wooden stairs out back

When you stepped out and I heard a loud sound there

It was the first time I saw it

The frailty that robs the light from us

And the longing for old selves

Who'd stray off into the tall grass without a care

With loss comes awareness

The passing that makes now then

You kept a tight lid on the long nights that kept you from them

As our visits got more sparse

Fresh off a flight, and attention began to shift

The light gently scattered on worn paths and silences
