Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Down the stairs where the light is low Watch the amber liquid glow One a.m. and the world is slow Nowhere left for us to go The Rhodes begins to ripple light In the middle of the night [Pre-Chorus] Ice is clinking in the glass Watching all the hours pass Shadows dancing on the wall Waiting for the night to fall [Chorus] Fold that ticket, hide the play Let the memories drift away In this basement, we can stay Wait until the break of day Rye and ice, a soft refrain Washing out the city rain [Post-Chorus] Hide the play Drift away We can stay Break of day [Verse] Yellow paper, edges frayed Price of admission already paid In your pocket, secrets laid Like a ghost that never strayed You take a sip and close your eyes Underneath these velvet skies [Bridge] Was it June or late July? Underneath a different sky? First dates lost in time's design Sweet as elderberry wine Words we never dared to speak Brushed against a burning cheek [Interlude] [Verse] Muted brass begins to moan We are never quite alone Every shadow has a tone In this secret corner zone I see the ghost of who I was Just because, oh just because [Chorus] Fold that ticket, hide the play Let the memories drift away In this basement, we can stay Wait until the break of day Rye and ice, a soft refrain Washing out the city rain [Breakdown] Smoke is curling in the air Find a dream and leave it there Double bass is humming low Nowhere left for us to go [Chorus] Fold that ticket, hide the play Let the memories drift away In this basement, we can stay Wait until the break of day Rye and ice, a soft refrain Washing out the city rain [Outro]
