Pressed in the Dusk

[Intro]
[Verse]
The frost begins to trace
A cold and silent lace
Upon the attic pane
Like frozen drops of rain
I touch the petal blue
The flower left by you
A secret kept in shade
Before the memories fade
[Pre-Chorus]
The candle starts to flicker low
The winter winds begin to blow
My hair is tangled in the glow
I watch the shadows come and go
[Chorus]
I dare not speak your name
To play this quiet game
A love that cannot bloom
Within this lonely room
The church bell starts to toll
To shake my weary soul
I hold the petal tight
Against the freezing night
[Break]
[Verse]
The twilight turns to gray
The light has slipped away
I trace the paper leaf
In silent, tender grief
The dust is on the floor
Beside the heavy door
I weep for what is lost
Beneath the biting frost
[Pre-Chorus]
The candle starts to flicker low
The winter winds begin to blow
My hair is tangled in the glow
I watch the shadows come and go
[Chorus]
I dare not speak your name
To play this quiet game
A love that cannot bloom
Within this lonely room
The church bell starts to toll
To shake my weary soul
I hold the petal tight
Against the freezing night
[Bridge]
We walk in separate spheres
Through all the long and passing years
I keep my sorrow deep
While children fall asleep
No vows can we exchange
The world is cold and strange
This blue forget-me-not
Is all that I have got
[Outro]
