Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Rust on the iron rail Sunlight is turning pale Flipping through pages thin Where does the ghost begin? You left this book behind Still stuck inside my mind Dog-eared and stained with tea A little piece of you and me [Pre-Chorus] The ink is fading fast Shadows are being cast I smell the paper old Turning the gray to gold I feel the sub-bass hum Waiting for the night to come [Chorus] Oh, it was sweet for a second A love that the stars had reckoned No tears left to cry Just a soft hello-goodbye We were just a brief spark Dancing in the dark Yeah, we were just a spark [Post-Chorus] (Softly now) Rhodes playing low Watching the traffic flow Rhodes playing low Watching the memories go [Verse] Remember that corner store? We couldn't ask for more Two-dollar coffee cups Before the sun was up Crackling on the vinyl plate Staying up way too late Spinning in the kitchen light Everything felt so right [Pre-Chorus] I don't hold a grudge Time is the only judge You were a beautiful page In a different kind of age Now I close the spine Glad that you were mine [Chorus] Oh, it was sweet for a second A love that the stars had reckoned No tears left to cry Just a soft hello-goodbye We were just a brief spark Dancing in the dark Yeah, we were just a spark [Bridge] Flugelhorn starts to moan I’m sitting here all alone But I feel the warmth of then Reading it all again No bitter taste in my mouth Even when the love went south It was a gift you gave Something for my soul to save [Hook] Just a little gratitude In this golden solitude Just a little gratitude Changing my whole mood [Chorus] Oh, it was sweet for a second A love that the stars had reckoned No tears left to cry Just a soft hello-goodbye We were just a brief spark Dancing in the dark Yeah, we were just a spark [Breakdown] Clean guitar on the breeze Moving through the city trees Muted notes in the air Like you’re still standing there But I know you’re gone Before the break of dawn [Post-Chorus] Rhodes playing low Watching the traffic flow Rhodes playing low Watching the memories go [Outro]
