One Less

One Less Demon

I woke up this morning
I rolled out of bed
I stumbled through the shower
As I tried to clear my head

There is something different
Something different in the day
There is one less demon
One less demon standing in my way

Somewhere in the night I lost you
Somewhere out there you slipped away
I can't say I'm gonna miss you
But I'm surprised you didn't stay

Your's was a familiar haunting
A smoky voiced whisper of a song
I'd gotten used to your ghost
You'd been with me so long

There is something different
Something different in the day
There is one less demon
One less demon standing in my way

I slip on an old pair of jeans
I button down my favorite shirt
I pour the first cup of coffee
I'm surprised it doesn't hurt

You were part of the my landscape
An emptiness with every sun
You danced in my darkness
When every day was done

There is one less demon
One less demon standing in my way
There is something different
Something different in the day

There is one less demon
One less demon standing in my way
There is one less demon
One less demon today
