Valashlin

[Verse 1]
You came like autumn rain
Soft on my open hands
I gave you my fire
You gave me hidden lands

At your side I was named
More than the clan had seen
You traced the lines on my skin
And made a home in memory

[Pre-Chorus]
Then dawn found your shadow
Already turned away
My tongue held your silence
My heart could not stay

[Chorus]
You left me at the veil
You left me in the ache
My heart still calls your name
Across the cold pale lakes

You left me at the veil
And I still watch the gate
You left me, Solas
And I cannot unbreak

[Verse 2]
I wore my grief like brass
Cold against my chest
The fire in my bedroll
Would not teach me rest

Every road had your echo
Every stone knew your step
I learned how to be brave
By the tears I never wept

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought love would keep you
Would bend the world in two
But you were a turning moon
And I was lit by you

[Chorus]
You left me at the veil
You left me in the ache
My heart still calls your name
Across the cold pale lakes
You left me at the veil
And I still watch the gate
You left me, Solas
And I cannot unbreak

[Spoken]
"I am sorry, my heart."

[Bridge]
Now I carry your ending
Like ash in my palm
A cruel little blessing
A wound that looks calm

If I curse you, I miss you
If I pray, I still fall
I loved you like a promise
I loved you through it all

[Final Chorus]
You left me at the veil
You left me in the ache
My heart still calls your name
Across the cold pale lakes

You left me at the veil
And I still watch the gate
You left me, Solas
And I cannot unbreak

You left me at the veil
But I still know your face
I loved you, Solas
Even now, in the ache
