Echoes from a Distant Café

I hear echoes from a distant café

Songs we never got to say

Old chairs creak, the night feels thin

Like the past is breathing in

Every sound returns somehow

To the place we left it now

I hear echoes from a distant café

Calling softly, far away

Every laugh we couldn’t save

Still plays on in yesterday

Faded lights on quiet streets

Your voice hums in minor keys

Every step I take alone

Feels like walking through a song

Nothing’s gone, it just remains

In gentle, borrowed names

I hear echoes from a distant café

Where our silence learned to stay

Even time won’t take away

What still plays in yesterday

If the night rewinds the sound

Let it turn us back around

Not to stay, just to remind

What was real is never blind

I hear echoes from a distant café

Soft as dust, but here to stay

Every moment slips away

But the echo always stays

Mmm…

Distant café
