October Sun Video (MV)

You spent every spring storm with your nose to the glass
Throwing caution to the wind, braced for thunder and laugh
You live for the wind and the rain
You live to watch night become day
On the coattails of summer another storm breaks
Not through the window but within your veins
I'll be your hands every day
But yours won't hold me the same

So walk with me in October sun
The light is on the run
We'll chase it down and lock it up
It can't take you my love

Whether walking or strolling or rolling down hills
There's a song in your heart, unintelligible trills
Your words might not sound the same
But you never stopped singing my name
Even on days when you just couldn't be
The body you wanted so you better believe
I'll dance with Dad when you can't
You are the reason he stands

So sit with me in October sun
We'll hide the horizon
These days keep leaving can I keep just one
I'm looking for what once was

How can you sit here and still want to pray
When we know how this ends but you smile and say
Honey, I'm not afraid. I know to die is to gain
So I'll give you my tired and I'll give you my stains
'Cause you told me weakness is when I find strength
So let's stop counting down time
By numbers just by lullabies

I'll lie with you in October sun
The night is almost come
From my first cry to your last sigh
You were always my sunshine

You were taken by winter, I don't understand
Why you're gone and I'm left with these carrying hands
If you were here you would say, Child
Would you look up just once in a while
I'd find hundreds of broken hearts rush to your grave
To sing to the heavens how amazing His grace
You are no longer bound
There will be no sweeter sound

So I'll make peace with October sun
Your darkest days are done
There's just some things you can't outrun
Would you paint me the setting sun
