Honey on the Fire Escape

[Intro]
[Verse]
The rain taps the glass
Watching the hours pass
On that old fire escape
In a soft, silver shape
We sat there so still
On the cold window sill
[Pre-Chorus]
D-flat major in the air
Dust motes in your hair
I can still feel the glow
From a lifetime ago
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a honeyed memory
Sweet as it used to be
Just a lingering ghost
The one I love most
In the quiet of May
You’re never far away
[Verse]
Two spoons in the bowl
Chocolate for the soul
Mousse melting on the tongue
While the record was swung
The needle found the groove
Watching the shadows move
[Pre-Chorus]
Celeste glimmers in the dark
Like a tiny, golden spark
I don't need the light
To remember this night
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a honeyed memory
Sweet as it used to be
Just a lingering ghost
The one I love most
In the quiet of May
You’re never far away
[Bridge]
(Doo-ba-da, shoo-be-doo-wah)
(Ba-da-pau, zazz-a-dee-dah)
It wasn't a storm
Just a love kept warm
No bitter goodbyes
Just the softest of sighs
[Verse]
The muted trumpet plays
Through the evening haze
I find your old sweater
Things couldn't be better
Just a thread and a seam
Of a beautiful dream
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a honeyed memory
Sweet as it used to be
Just a lingering ghost
The one I love most
In the quiet of May
You’re never far away
[Post-Chorus]
Softly lingering on
Even after you're gone
Like a velvet refrain
In the late spring rain
[Outro]
