Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Midnight at the corner shop Where the ticking clocks all stop Dusty shelves and wooden floor Shadows dancing by the door I find a corner in the back Tracing lines along the rack [Pre-Chorus] Wait for the bell to ring Hear what the silence will bring You haven't arrived just yet In this room of soft regret [Chorus] A pressed violet for your hand In a world you understand Tucked inside a faded spine A secret that is only mine Between the ink and paper sky I leave a piece of hello and goodbye [Post-Chorus] (Doo-bee-doo-ba-da) Softly now (Shoo-be-do-wah) Just a whisper [Verse] You always pick the poetry Never looking back at me Fingerprints on gilded gold Stories that are never told I watch you turn the heavy page Like a bird inside a cage [Chorus] A pressed violet for your hand In a world you understand Tucked inside a faded spine A secret that is only mine Between the ink and paper sky I leave a piece of hello and goodbye [Bridge] The rain is tapping on the glass Watching all the people pass I could speak but I stay still Lacking any kind of will The flugelhorn begins to sigh Underneath a velvet sky [Solo] [Verse] The tea is getting cold and gray As the evening fades away I slide the flower in the book Without a single second look A tiny purple stain of grace In your quiet, private space [Chorus] A pressed violet for your hand In a world you understand Tucked inside a faded spine A secret that is only mine Between the ink and paper sky I leave a piece of hello and goodbye [Post-Chorus] (Doo-bee-doo-ba-da) Softly now (Shoo-be-do-wah) Just a whisper [Outro]
