Amber Glass

[Intro]
[Verse]
The ice is melting in my glass
Watching all the travelers pass
Two a.m. and the fog is deep
While the rest of the city's asleep
A terminal light, so soft and low
Nowhere left for a girl to go
[Chorus]
To the sun we stole in July
Underneath that Mediterranean sky
No promises made, no tears to dry
Just a sweet and a soft goodbye
Doo-ba-dee, let the memory lie
[Post-Chorus]
Scoo-be-do-wa, honey and wine
Everything felt perfectly fine
Just a moment out of time
[Verse]
The scent of salt on your skin
Where do I even begin?
A rented car and a dusty road
Lightening up my heavy load
Now the flugelhorn starts to moan
I’m flying back to the life I own
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain taps on the heavy pane
Quiet rhythm like a slow train
I’m not looking for a lost refrain
Or a way to stop the rain
[Chorus]
To the sun we stole in July
Underneath that Mediterranean sky
No promises made, no tears to dry
Just a sweet and a soft goodbye
Shoo-be-doo, let the memory fly
[Bridge]
The piano plays a gentle blue
I won't be looking back for you
Some things are better left as gold
A story that doesn't need to be told
Warm and bright, never getting old
[Instrumental]
[Hook]
Raise the glass to the rain
Without a single drop of pain
Just the pleasure, not the strain
[Verse]
My flight is called at Gate B-9
I’m leaving all the ghosts behind
One last sip of this amber glow
It’s finally time for me to go
Step by step on the moving floor
I don’t need to see you anymore
[Chorus]
To the sun we stole in July
Underneath that Mediterranean sky
No promises made, no tears to dry
Just a sweet and a soft goodbye
Ba-da-ba, let the memory lie
[Outro]
