Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The key turns slow In a lock I used to know Shadows dance on the floor By the peeling kitchen door Dust settles on my coat Like a long-lost note [Verse] Found it under the bed Things we never said A stamp from sixty-four When we wanted so much more Blue ink turned to grey Like a rainy Tuesday [Pre-Chorus] The wallpaper is thin Where the light leaks in I hear the ghosts of laughter And the silence after [Chorus] Oh, it’s a bittersweet view Thinking back on you A faded postcard in my hand Words I couldn’t understand Ink blurred by the years And a few forgotten tears [Post-Chorus] Watching the winter rain Wash away the stain Of a heart once whole Now a weary soul [Verse] The radiator hums a tune To a cold afternoon I should leave this place Forget your quiet face But the memory stays In a golden haze [Chorus] Oh, it’s a bittersweet view Thinking back on you A faded postcard in my hand Words I couldn’t understand Ink blurred by the years And a few forgotten tears [Bridge] The piano’s out of tune Beneath a paper moon We were kids in this hall Writing names on the wall Now the city’s grown tall And I feel so small [Instrumental] [Verse] I’ll turn out the light On a lonely night Keep the paper close To the things I love most Everything we knew was true When I was there with you [Chorus] Oh, it’s a bittersweet view Thinking back on you A faded postcard in my hand Words I couldn’t understand Ink blurred by the years And a few forgotten tears [Outro]
