Boardwalk Dusk

[Intro]
[Verse]
The salt air hangs heavy tonight
Sky bleeds purple, fading light
Splintered wood beneath my hand
A half-eaten scone, a forgotten plan
[Pre-Chorus]
This old table tells a tale
Whispers carried on the gale
Of a moment, soft and slow
Where did all the colors go?
[Chorus]
Raindrops kiss the weathered pier
Washing away every fear
But this memory, it remains
Echoing through my veins
[Verse]
A faded picture, dog-eared and worn
From a summer before the storm
Underneath a coffee cup
Trying hard to sum it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Your smile captured, frozen still
Against the wind, against my will
To let it go, to set it free
But it's a part of you and me
[Chorus]
Raindrops kiss the weathered pier
Washing away every fear
But this memory, it remains
Echoing through my veins
[Bridge]
Flip phone buzzes, a familiar tune
Saved voicemail from an afternoon
Your voice, a whisper, soft and low
Words I still can't let go
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
The boardwalk creaks a lonely sound
As shadows gather all around
This quiet ache, this gentle sigh
Beneath the vast and darkening sky
[Chorus]
Raindrops kiss the weathered pier
Washing away every fear
But this memory, it remains
Echoing through my veins
[Outro]
