Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Steam rises from the cup I never look up Rain streaks the neon blue Thinking of you The diner’s humming low Nowhere left to go Just a slow-motion show [Pre-Chorus] The upright bass is walking The shadows are talking About the way you moved With nothing to be proved [Chorus] It’s a bittersweet sting That summer-time thing A ghost on a wing Under a violet sky We didn't say goodbye Just a soft lullaby In the middle of July [Post-Chorus] Muted trumpet sighs Looking through disguise How the time flies [Verse] Leather seats and chrome Far away from home Your hand in my palm A temporary calm The clock on the wall Watching it all fall Like a distant call [Hook] Sweet summer sting A fleeting thing [Bridge] Shadows start to creep While the city’s asleep The Rhodes keys are heavy Like rain on a levee I’m caught in the middle Of a late-night riddle Searching for the light In the dead of the night [Interlude] [Chorus] It’s a bittersweet sting That summer-time thing A ghost on a wing Under a violet sky We didn't say goodbye Just a soft lullaby In the middle of July [Verse] Silver spoons on the tray Wishing you’d stay But the connection was brief A beautiful thief Leaving me here With a ghost and a tear The morning is near [Outro]
