Amber Regret

[Intro]
[Verse]
Hey Leo, keep the bottle low
Watch the amber liquid flow
See the rain against the pane
Trying to wash away the stain
Of a face I didn't know
Watch the candle shadows grow
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s been seven days precisely
Since she sat there smiling nicely
I should have found the nerve
Instead of losing my reserve
[Chorus]
Missing that stranger’s smile
Stayed for a little while
Left a ghost in the air
And a scent on the chair
Half-empty glass of rye
Watching the week go by
It’s a quiet kind of blue
Nothing left for me to do
[Post-Chorus]
Just a ghost in the rain
Just a sweet kind of pain
Glass of old rye
Week going by
[Verse]
The ice melted into nothing
I was busy thinking something
How her laugh caught the light
Before she vanished in the night
Left a ring upon the wood
Go back if I only could
[Chorus]
Missing that stranger’s smile
Stayed for a little while
Left a ghost in the air
And a scent on the chair
Half-empty glass of rye
Watching the week go by
It’s a quiet kind of blue
Nothing left for me to do
[Bridge]
Maybe she’s a memory I made
Flicker in a heavy shade
Trumpet’s crying in the key
Of everything that couldn't be
Regret is holding me so tight
Deep into the velvet night
[Verse]
You remember that Tuesday night?
The one with the dress so bright?
She didn't say much to you
Just ordered a drink or two
Now the stool is cold and bare
Like she was never even there
[Chorus]
Missing that stranger’s smile
Stayed for a little while
Left a ghost in the air
And a scent on the chair
Half-empty glass of rye
Watching the week go by
It’s a quiet kind of blue
Nothing left for me to do
[Post-Chorus]
Just a ghost in the rain
Just a sweet kind of pain
Glass of old rye
Week going by
[Outro]
