Ghost of a Bloom

[Intro]
[Verse]
Paper thin and dry
Underneath a summer sky
Found it on page ten
Where the story starts again
Yellow petals turned to grey
From a long forgotten day
Tracing lines with my thumb
Feeling strangely cold and numb
[Pre-Chorus]
Dusty light upon the floor
I don't live there anymore
Silver shadows on the wall
I can almost hear the call
Of the wind through the trees
And the humming of the bees
[Chorus]
Fading in the haze
Lost within the maze
Of a sun-dappled trail
Where the memory is frail
Softly drifting out of reach
Like a pebble on the beach
Just a ghost in the light
Disappearing out of sight
[Post-Chorus]
In the haze
In the maze
Softly drifting
Slowly shifting
[Verse]
Pine needles on the ground
Without a single sound
Walking through the shade
In the light the forest made
Was there a lake nearby?
Reflecting back the open sky?
I can't find the track
Or the way to head back
[Pre-Chorus]
Blueberries in a jar
Did we ever go that far?
Mountain air in my lungs
Speaking in our secret tongues
Now the ink starts to fade
In the quiet of the glade
[Chorus]
Fading in the haze
Lost within the maze
Of a sun-dappled trail
Where the memory is frail
Softly drifting out of reach
Like a pebble on the beach
Just a ghost in the light
Disappearing out of sight
[Bridge]
Slide guitar begins to weep
Secrets that the pages keep
Brushed across the velvet blue
Searching for a trace of you
Gentle ache inside my chest
Let the tired spirit rest
Everything is blurred and soft
Carried by the wind aloft
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Secondhand and worn
Where the binding has been torn
Tucked away so neat
In the heavy summer heat
I can't find the place
Or the lines upon your face
Just a stem and a leaf
And a quiet, heavy grief
[Chorus]
Fading in the haze
Lost within the maze
Of a sun-dappled trail
Where the memory is frail
Softly drifting out of reach
Like a pebble on the beach
Just a ghost in the light
Disappearing out of sight
[Post-Chorus]
Just a ghost of a bloom
In a quiet, empty room
Floating in the air
Like you were never there
In the haze
In the maze
[Outro]
