Amber Dust

[Intro]
[Verse]
The stairs are steep and thin
The light is leaning in
A million tiny worlds of dust
Floating like they have no trust
In the floor or in the frame
In the ghost of a middle name
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything feels like a blur
A memory of what we were
The air is heavy and sweet
I’m standing on my tippy feet
[Chorus]
Oh, the golden hour glow
Things I didn’t get to know
In the attic of the mind
Everything we left behind
It’s not a heavy kind of blue
Just a quiet way of loving you
[Verse]
A bird with a silver key
Still sings a song for me
One wing is a little slow
Where did the summer go?
Half-finished roses on the cloth
Eaten by a tiny moth
She left the needle in the thread
Like the words she never said
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything feels like a blur
A memory of what we were
The air is heavy and sweet
I’m standing on my tippy feet
[Chorus]
Oh, the golden hour glow
Things I didn’t get to know
In the attic of the mind
Everything we left behind
It’s not a heavy kind of blue
Just a quiet way of loving you
[Bridge]
The harpsichord is playing low
In a house I used to know
Is it now or is it then?
Will the clock strike twelve again?
I am small and you are here
Floating in the atmosphere
[Hook]
Chime, chime
Out of time
Chime, chime
Almost mine
[Chorus]
Oh, the golden hour glow
Things I didn’t get to know
In the attic of the mind
Everything we left behind
It’s not a heavy kind of blue
Just a quiet way of loving you
[Post-Chorus]
Amber light
Holding tight
It’s alright
Through the night
[Outro]
