(Mmm gentle humming)
La la la oh
Porcelain cup in trembling hands
Steam rising like my hopes
Each morning by the window seat
Watching petals float
Two cups laid out with care today
Though one stays pristine new
The courage dissolves like leaves unfurled
In water brought to brew
Two cups one shadow on the wall
(One shadow oh )
The stillness speaks what I can't say
(What I can't say )
Time suspended in drops that fall
While autumn slips away
Your laughter mingles with jasmine
As seasons dance and turn
Our fingers brush across white clay
Sweet lessons learned
The ritual becomes our dance
Each morning brings us near
Two cups now hold our shared silence
Perfect crystal clear
Two cups one shadow on the wall
(One shadow merging )
The warmth between us starts to glow
(Starts to glow )
Time suspended in drops that fall
While winter melts to snow
(Ohhh )
Empty tables speak volumes now
(La la la )
The steam still rises just like then
But something's missing somehow
(Mmm oh )
One cup sits gathering dust now
On shelves of memory
The other fills with bitter tears
Of what used to be
Morning light still finds its way
Through curtains drawn with care
But rituals lose their magic when
There's no one there to share
Two cups one shadow on the wall
(One shadow fading )
The silence drowns what's left to say
(Nothing left to say )
Time suspended in drops that fall
As spring drifts away
