Marginalia

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sun hits the spine
Dust motes in line
The Wurlitzer hums low
Watching the shadows grow
Sunday moves so slow
In this quiet row
My fingers trace the gold
Stories left untold
[Pre-Chorus]
I pull a vintage verse
A blessing or a curse?
Hidden in the back
Falling through the crack
I feel my spirit lift
Caught inside the drift
[Chorus]
Scribbled in the margins
Where the love begins
Blue ink on the page
Defying every age
Just a ghost of a touch
It doesn't take much
To feel you here
Crystal clear
[Post-Chorus]
Ink and paper soul
Making me feel whole
Just a quiet sign
Frozen out of time
[Verse]
Nineteen seventy-four
Found on the floor
“Meet me by the gate”
“I’m sorry I was late”
A heart drawn in red
Words better left unsaid
Folded like a secret
Wonder if they kept it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it a summer night?
Under the street light?
I’m reaching for a ghost
The one I need the most
My voice begins to climb
Searching for the rhyme
[Chorus]
Scribbled in the margins
Where the love begins
Blue ink on the page
Defying every age
Just a ghost of a touch
It doesn't take much
To feel you here
Crystal clear
[Bridge]
We leave ourselves behind
In things we hope they find
A coffee stain, a tear
Wishing you were near
The fretless bass sighs
Underneath the skies
Of a forgotten dream
Or a silver stream
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Scribbled in the margins
Where the love begins
Blue ink on the page
Defying every age
Just a ghost of a touch
It doesn't take much
To feel you here
Crystal clear
[Post-Chorus]
Ink and paper soul
Making me feel whole
Just a quiet sign
Frozen out of time
[Breakdown]
Sorting through the years
Laughter and the tears
Just a bookstore clerk
Watching magic work
In the second-hand
Across the lonely land
[Outro]
