Attic Dust and Summer Ghosts

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dance in fading light
Cedar strings begin to hum
Fingers trace a faded line
Where summer’s ghosts have overcome
[Pre-Chorus]
This attic air, it holds a chill
Moth-eaten wool, a memory still
Of promises I let slip through
Back in twenty-eighteen, me and you
[Chorus]
Rain on the glass, a soft refrain
Streetlights bleed through window pane
Polaroid edges, sun-bleached white
Whispering regret in the fading light
[Verse]
Each letter penned, a careful hand
Across the miles, across the land
I hear your voice, a distant call
As shadows lengthen on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
That beach we walked, the salty air
A whispered vow, beyond compare
And I was young, and I was blind
To leave that moment far behind
[Chorus]
Rain on the glass, a soft refrain
Streetlights bleed through window pane
Polaroid edges, sun-bleached white
Whispering regret in the fading light
[Bridge]
Palm thuds echo, soft and low
Viola sighs, a tender flow
Was it just the tide that pulled us out?
Or words unsaid, consumed by doubt?
[Verse]
I see your smile, a sun-kissed scene
A sepia tone, a faded dream
The tape warble, a gentle sway
Carrying yesterday away
[Pre-Chorus]
This quiet room, this hush so deep
Secrets that the old walls keep
And maybe hope, a fragile thing
In what the coming dawn might bring
[Chorus]
Rain on the glass, a soft refrain
Streetlights bleed through window pane
Polaroid edges, sun-bleached white
Whispering regret in the fading light
[Outro]
