歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The key turns slow in the lock Shadows dance on the old clock Dust settles on the worn spine Of books no longer mine Smells like paper and the rain A soft and familiar pain I linger in the dim light To say my last goodnight [Pre-Chorus] Found a tattered Keats today Hidden in the back display Between page forty and five Something came back alive A secret kept in the dark A tiny, silent spark [Chorus] A pressed violet in the blue Left here by someone like you A purple ghost on the leaf Such a quiet, lovely thief Did you read the rhymes aloud? Lost in the city crowd? Now the shop is getting cold Stories never to be told [Verse] I remember your coat of grey On that Tuesday in late May You didn't say a single word The softest voice I never heard You leaned against the shelf Keeping secrets to yourself Tracing titles with your thumb While the street outside stayed hum [Chorus] A pressed violet in the blue Left here by someone like you A purple ghost on the leaf Such a quiet, lovely thief Did you read the rhymes aloud? Lost in the city crowd? Now the shop is getting cold Stories never to be told [Bridge] The B3 hums a low note Like a letter you never wrote Muted brass starts to moan In this cathedral of stone Just a clerk in a vest With a flower on my chest Watching the streetlamps glow Nowhere for me to go [Solo] [Chorus] A pressed violet in the blue Left here by someone like you A purple ghost on the leaf Such a quiet, lovely thief Did you read the rhymes aloud? Lost in the city crowd? Now the shop is getting cold Stories never to be told [Post-Chorus] Coffee's bitter in the cup I never want to wake up Just a violet in the blue Left here by someone like you Someone like you Just a ghost passing through [Outro]
