Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sunlight hits the shelf Dust is dancing by itself Smell of cedar wood Where the oldest volumes stood Golden hour glow Moving very slow [Pre-Chorus] Pressed between the pages Lost for many ages Lavender turns grey From a distant day [Chorus] Oh the ink is pale Like a paper veil Words you never said Sentences unread In this quiet place I can see your face Though we never met Sweet and soft regret [Post-Chorus] Soft regret Soft regret Ink and violet Not finished yet [Verse] Spinet chords so bright In the fading light Baroque guitar strings Songs the silence sings A letter carefully planned Written by a hand Long since moved away From this Rue today [Pre-Chorus] Shadows on the floor By the heavy door Lavender turns grey From a distant day [Chorus] Oh the ink is pale Like a paper veil Words you never said Sentences unread In this quiet place I can see your face Though we never met Sweet and soft regret [Bridge] Did the streetcar bell Ring a final knell? Did you run outside? Nowhere left to hide Was it just a quill Staying very still? Or a heart that broke In the city smoke? [Verse] Flute and oboe sigh As the day goes by I will leave it here Keep the secret near For the next to find Peace of heart and mind In a dusty room Through the evening bloom [Chorus] Oh the ink is pale Like a paper veil Words you never said Sentences unread In this quiet place I can see your face Though we never met Sweet and soft regret [Outro]
