Ink and the Tagus

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the glistening stone
I sit here all alone
The evening light is dim
Tracing the ceramic rim
Lisbon is a shade of gray
Watching daylight fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
A ghost of a lonely song
Right where we both belong
Fado echoes down the street
Where our moving shadows meet
[Chorus]
One slow dance in the dark
Igniting a tiny little spark
You left a folded paper page
Like a bird outside the cage
Every word was written in blue
Always leading me back to you
Just a whisper in the breeze
Bringing me down to my knees
[Post-Chorus]
The rhythm is moving low
Everything is moving slow
I will never let you go
In this soft and steady glow
[Verse]
The café con leche is cold
Stories that were never told
I touch the ink on the lines
Searching for the hidden signs
The river Tagus softly flows
Where the secret water goes
[Pre-Chorus]
A ghost of a lonely song
Right where we both belong
Fado echoes down the street
Where our moving shadows meet
[Chorus]
One slow dance in the dark
Igniting a tiny little spark
You left a folded paper page
Like a bird outside the cage
Every word was written in blue
Always leading me back to you
Just a whisper in the breeze
Bringing me down to my knees
[Bridge]
Was it real or just a dream?
Nothing is quite what it may seem
The trumpet plays a lonely note
Like a letter no one wrote
I am waiting for the moon
To bring you back to me soon
[Solo]
[Verse]
The silver shaker starts to play
Chasing all the clouds away
I fold the paper very tight
To keep me through the night
A little glimmer in the rain
Washing out the quiet pain
[Chorus]
One slow dance in the dark
Igniting a tiny little spark
You left a folded paper page
Like a bird outside the cage
Every word was written in blue
Always leading me back to you
Just a whisper in the breeze
Bringing me down to my knees
[Outro]
