Amber and Rain

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nI watch the rain-slicked sidewalk glow\nWhere the midnight currents flow\nThrough the frosted window pane\nSearching for a ghost in vain\nThe speakeasy is dim and low\nMoving at a tempo slow\nI’m the regular you know\nWith no place left to go\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe neon sign begins to flicker\nI’m feeling lonely much quicker\nThe pour is getting much thicker\nI need another glass of liquor\nMy pulse is getting much sicker\nThe pavement's looking much slicker\n\n[Chorus]\nAmber light and silver rain\nWashing out the quiet pain\nTracing circles on the pane\nNothing left here to explain\nThe city breathes a heavy sigh\nUnderneath a velvet sky\nI watch the taxis passing by\nWondering where the spirits lie\n\n[Verse]\nA half-empty bourbon glass\nWatching all the shadows pass\nThe memory is made of brass\nLike the morning in the grass\nYou were here a breath ago\nIn the amber’s golden flow\nNow the heater’s humming low\nAnd the wind begins to blow\n\n[Bridge]\nThe trumpet moans a low refrain\nIt echoes through the pouring rain\nI’m feeling all the old disdain\nThe rhythm hits a pulsing vein\nA sudden shift in the key\nThe bass is calling out to me\nTo set my weary spirit free\nFrom everything I used to be\n\n[Chorus]\nAmber light and silver rain\nWashing out the quiet pain\nTracing circles on the pane\nNothing left here to explain\nThe city breathes a heavy sigh\nUnderneath a velvet sky\nI watch the taxis passing by\nWondering where the spirits lie\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nJust a ghost within the glass\nWatching all the hours pass\nThe bourbon burns a little deep\nPromises I couldn't keep\nThe night is getting very old\nStories that were never told\n\n[Outro]
