Jasmine and Concrete

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silver light on the rail
Twilight starts to pale
Shadows in the garden bed
Words that go unsaid
Empty chairs in a quiet row
Watching the garden slowly grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Distant lights begin to glow
Steady pulse of life below
Rain is falling on the street
Washing over cold concrete
[Chorus]
Small things stayed with me
Like a quiet memory
A gentle touch of grace
In a crowded place
I still feel the heat
Making every moment sweet
[Post-Chorus]
Whispers in the air (hush)
Floating here and there (hush)
Softly drifting through the night
Lost within the city light
[Verse]
A stranger’s smile in the hall
Echoes bouncing off the wall
Years have passed since that day
But the warmth won’t fade away
Kindness in a simple glance
Given without a second chance
[Chorus]
Small things stayed with me
Like a quiet memory
A gentle touch of grace
In a crowded place
I still feel the heat
Making every moment sweet
[Bridge]
What if I had stayed?
Let the music be played?
Threads that never quite entwined
Left within a peaceful mind
Might-have-beens in the dark
Fading like a dying spark
[Verse]
The jasmine smells so deep
While the city goes to sleep
A heavy heart feels light
In the middle of the night
Soft mist on the glass
Watching the moments pass
[Verse]
Muted notes on the keys
Carried by the summer breeze
Glockenspiel in the air
Finding beauty everywhere
Standing on the roof alone
Making this small peace my own
[Post-Chorus]
Secrets in the rain (hush)
Softening the old pain (hush)
Floating through the blue
Coming back to you
[Outro]
