[Intro] [Verse] The dust motes dance in golden light The sun is slipping out of sight Upon the shelf of aged pine I reach for verses, line by line The leather spine is warm and worn By quiet hands and spirits torn I feel the pulse of history A soft and papered mystery [Pre-Chorus] Cedar wood and antique lace Linger in this hollow space I feel the weight of every page A silent stage for every age The cor anglais begins to sigh Underneath the violet sky [Chorus] Oh, the vellum holds a secret breath Defying time, defying death A tiny wonder in my hand The softest bloom across the land I find the heart within the ink A golden link, a way to think It’s a quiet, regal glow From a hundred years ago [Post-Chorus] Softly swelling, heart is full A gentle pull, a velvet lull In the hush of evening air I find a prayer, a love so rare [Verse] Between the leaves of Keats and Moore A folded scrap from days before The ink is curled in faded blue A "yours forever," "I love you" No name is signed, no date is clear But someone’s ghost is standing near I trace the loops of every letter To make the lonely twilight better [Pre-Chorus] Classical strings begin to weave A story only I believe I feel the weight of every page A silent stage for every age The celesta rings a silver chime Stealing back a piece of time [Chorus] Oh, the vellum holds a secret breath Defying time, defying death A tiny wonder in my hand The softest bloom across the land I find the heart within the ink A golden link, a way to think It’s a quiet, regal glow From a hundred years ago [Bridge] Did they meet beneath the bell? Did they have a tale to tell? The church chime echoes far away At the closing of the day Two strangers bound by paper thin Where their quiet lives begin Guitar notes fall like summer rain To ease the ghost of ancient pain [Verse] The shadows stretch across the floor I close the heavy oaken door But in my mind the candles glow From a century ago I trace the gilding with my thumb And feel my weary heart succumb To mundane miracles we miss A hidden word, a paper kiss [Chorus] Oh, the vellum holds a secret breath Defying time, defying death A tiny wonder in my hand The softest bloom across the land I find the heart within the ink A golden link, a way to think It’s a quiet, regal glow From a hundred years ago [Post-Chorus] Softly swelling, heart is full A gentle pull, a velvet lull In the hush of evening air I find a prayer, a love so rare [Outro]
