Between the Lines

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain taps the glass pane
You're still in my lane
By the shelf of Yeats
Testing out the fates
The kettle is sighing
Stop your quiet prying
[Pre-Chorus]
You check the same spine
Looking for a sign
Is it Keats or Poe?
Time for you to go
[Chorus]
Dust on the leather
Binding us together
Just a paperback romance
Waiting for a chance
Between the lines we hide
With the moon as our guide
[Post-Chorus]
(Shoo-be-doo-wah)
Turn the page slow
(Ba-da-ba-da)
Watch the ink flow
[Break]
[Verse]
My hair turned to silver
While you were a giver
Of glances so shy
Under a dark sky
You’re a rare first edition
My favorite tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
Chamomile in the cup
Drink the wisdom up
The street is a blur
My heart is a purr
[Chorus]
Dust on the leather
Binding us together
Just a paperback romance
Waiting for a chance
Between the lines we hide
With the moon as our guide
[Bridge]
Life isn't a sonnet
With a ribbon on it
It’s a dog-eared mess
In a velvet dress
We’re a slow-burning plot
In a rain-slicked lot
[Verse]
Click goes the front lock
Listen to the clock
Your tea’s getting cold
Stories left untold
Don't trip on the rug
Give your coat a tug
You say you’ll just browse
In my paper house
[Chorus]
Dust on the leather
Binding us together
Just a paperback romance
Waiting for a chance
Between the lines we hide
With the moon as our guide
[Post-Chorus]
(Shoo-be-doo-wah)
Turn the page slow
(Ba-da-ba-da)
Watch the ink flow
[Outro]
