Inner Dialogues

Without Us Knowing

The last ordinary moment rarely tells us that it is the last.

Dark soul · contemplativeLyrics by Thomas LukaschewskiOriginal language: English

Verse 1

It was a Sunday like the rest,
The coffee warm, the windows dressed
In fading gold across the floor,
The same old coats beside the door.

We spoke of things too small to keep,
The weather, work, the lack of sleep.
No silence warned us as we went
That home had changed before we left.

Pre-Chorus

Time wore the face of any day,
Then took a little world away.
No bell was rung, no curtain fell,
The moment kept its secret well.

Chorus

One more Sunday, one more light,
One more ordinary night.
One more laugh, one closing door,
One more thing that comes no more.

We close the door, the hall still glowing,
And walk away without us knowing.

Verse 2

Some endings do not cut the thread,
They loosen every word instead.
A voice grows faint, a hand less near,
A future slowly disappears.

We do not watch the river bend,
Or know which meeting was the end.
We only find, when years have flown,
The road behind us overgrown.

Pre-Chorus 2

Time never tears the page in two,
It turns it while we read it through.
We only learn the chapter’s done
When all its sentences are gone.

Chorus

One more Sunday, one more light,
One more ordinary night.
One more laugh, one closing door,
One more thing that comes no more.

We close the door, the hall still glowing,
And walk away without us knowing.

Bridge

So let the coffee lose its heat,
Let silence linger after we eat.
Let no one hurry toward the door
As though this room were promised more.

We cannot know which chair will change,
Which voice will one day sound estranged.
But we can stay until the light
Has learned the faces here tonight.

Final Chorus

One more Sunday, one more light,
One more ordinary night.
One more laugh, one hand to hold,
One more warmth against the cold.

We cannot stop the river flowing,
Or name the last before it’s going.
But we can stay while light is showing,
And leave with love instead of knowing.
