Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Fluorescent lights hum so low Watching all the shadows grow Midnight at the Wash and Dry Underneath a heavy sky You were folding cotton sleeves Quiet like the falling leaves I was lost inside my head Thinking of the things unsaid [Pre-Chorus] The dryer spun a slow design I felt your eyes meeting mine The silver coins began to fall Echoing against the wall [Chorus] In the pocket of my wool I found a secret kind of pull Scrawled in ink upon a page Magic from a different age You left a ghost behind for me To set my lonely spirit free A handwritten rhyme Frozen in a moment’s time [Post-Chorus] Tucked away, kept so deep Promises I meant to keep Soft and light, thin and blue A little part of me and you [Verse] Months have passed since that night Fading in the morning light But I still wear the heavy knit Wondering if you remember it The way the steam began to rise Reflected in your tired eyes You slipped the paper in the fold A story never to be told [Pre-Chorus] Now the winter turns to spring I still hear the metal ring Of the machines in the row Where we had nowhere to go [Chorus] In the pocket of my wool I found a secret kind of pull Scrawled in ink upon a page Magic from a different age You left a ghost behind for me To set my lonely spirit free A handwritten rhyme Frozen in a moment’s time [Bridge] It wasn't meant to stay for long Just a verse within a song A stranger’s hand, a gentle spark Floating through the heavy dark Love shows up in messy ways In the middle of the grayest days [Verse] I walked past the shop today Watched the people drift away No one knows the words I hold Better than the finest gold A scrap of paper, worn and thin Where the better days begin [Chorus] In the pocket of my wool I found a secret kind of pull Scrawled in ink upon a page Magic from a different age You left a ghost behind for me To set my lonely spirit free A handwritten rhyme Frozen in a moment’s time [Post-Chorus] Tucked away, kept so deep Promises I meant to keep Soft and light, thin and blue A little part of me and you [Outro]
