A stillness passes over friends.

What I stored was yours to keep, 
             Em                                     A9

Comfort used to pass my days,

Before you shook the cold from me 
Bm                                   D 
I have enough to hold me to your side 
Em                                   D           A9 
Before release comes for me like a thief in the night.

For one more day, one more day in the kingdom
