Espresso and Rain

[Intro]
[Verse]
Blue shadows on the Beacon Hill
The evening air is standing still
Rain-slicked bricks under my feet
Walking down this narrow street
[Pre-Chorus]
The mist is rising from the ground
I listen for a familiar sound
A ghost of us begins to rise
Underneath the Boston skies
[Chorus]
Espresso steam and velvet dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
In the corner of the faded room
Love was just a brief perfume
Cobblestones and streetlamp light
Hold me through the Boston night
[Verse]
The brass handle feels so cold
A story that was never told
I see your ghost in every chair
Floating through the smoky air
[Pre-Chorus]
The mist is rising from the ground
I listen for a familiar sound
A ghost of us begins to rise
Underneath the Boston skies
[Chorus]
Espresso steam and velvet dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
In the corner of the faded room
Love was just a brief perfume
Cobblestones and streetlamp light
Hold me through the Boston night
[Bridge]
Then I hear a stranger laugh
Tearing through my heart in half
The echo hits the window pane
Washing out the summer rain
Soft trombone begins to play
Chasing all the blue away
[Verse]
Rhodes piano starts to swell
Underneath this lonely spell
Muted brass and hollow strings
Remembering the little things
Your fingers on the porcelain
Where the ending must begin
[Chorus]
Espresso steam and velvet dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
In the corner of the faded room
Love was just a brief perfume
Cobblestones and streetlamp light
Hold me through the Boston night
[Post-Chorus]
(Shoo-be-doo, mm-mm)
Just a memory in the rain
(Doo-wop, soft refrain)
Walking home alone again
[Outro]
