The Restorer's Hour

[Intro]
[Verse]
I smooth the vellum flat and wide
Within this golden evening tide
The lavender is dry and thin
Where old botanical dreams begin
I find a ghost within the ink
Before I even have to think
The scent of summer starts to rise
Beneath the glow of amber skies
[Pre-Chorus]
A pencil mark upon the leaf
The record of a hidden grief
The cursive flows like summer wine
A hand that once was held in mine
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light lean in
Where the softest tales begin
Between the petals and the page
A love that doesn't feel its age
Drifting like the dust
In a world of quiet trust
Unresolved and sweet
Where the past and present meet
[Post-Chorus]
Just a shadow on the sill
While the world is standing still
Lavender and lace
In this sacred, sunlit space
[Verse]
The alto flute begins to sigh
Beneath the amber-colored sky
The celesta rings like falling rain
To ease the echo of the pain
I press the flower to the spine
To keep your memory in line
Each fiber tells a different story
Of faded grace and quiet glory
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light lean in
Where the softest tales begin
Between the petals and the page
A love that doesn't feel its age
Drifting like the dust
In a world of quiet trust
Unresolved and sweet
Where the past and present meet
[Bridge]
The harp strings tremble in the air
A ghost of perfume everywhere
The manuscript is old and grey
But you are here with me today
In every stroke of faded blue
I find another piece of you
No sharp peaks to break the spell
Only secrets we could never tell
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light lean in
Where the softest tales begin
Between the petals and the page
A love that doesn't feel its age
Drifting like the dust
In a world of quiet trust
Unresolved and sweet
Where the past and present meet
[Post-Chorus]
Just a shadow on the sill
While the world is standing still
Lavender and lace
In this sacred, sunlit space
[Outro]
