Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dusty shelves in the back Quiet hum of the cooling rack I find a note in a faded spine Tucked away since 1989 Yellow edges and a crooked line Wishing you were mine The air is thin and the light is gold Stories waiting to be told [Chorus] Oh, the secrets that we keep While the town is fast asleep In the margins of a borrowed book If you only take a look It’s a quiet kind of grace Finding love in an empty space Everything is still On the library hill [Verse] Page forty-seven has a stain Chamomile tea and a little rain A pressed daisy from a summer night Folded small and tucked in tight Scrawled poem about firefly light Everything felt right I trace the ink with a trembling hand Smallest things are grand [Hook] Honeyed tones Paper bones Whispers in the zones [Pre-Chorus] Who was he writing to? Was it me or was it you? The ink is dry but the heart is new Searching for a clue Across the decades, through the dust In a world we used to trust [Chorus] Oh, the secrets that we keep While the town is fast asleep In the margins of a borrowed book If you only take a look It’s a quiet kind of grace Finding love in an empty space Everything is still On the library hill [Bridge] Running thumbs over clover leaves Found in pockets of thrift store sleeves A ghost of a touch on a Sunday morn Before the pages were tired and worn Unspoken words that were never born Now I feel torn Between the then and the right now Wondering where and wondering how [Verse] I put the book back on the shelf Keep the secret to myself Small-town silence in the afternoon Humming a low and lonely tune Underneath a paper moon Coming home soon The banjo rings a hollow sound Lost and then we’re found [Chorus] Oh, the secrets that we keep While the town is fast asleep In the margins of a borrowed book If you only take a look It’s a quiet kind of grace Finding love in an empty space Everything is still On the library hill [Post-Chorus] Paper trails Love prevails In the quiet In the stillness (Ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh) [Outro]
