Smoke drifts soft through the dim midnight air
A faint mark left where your arm once rested there
I trace the faint lines worn into the wood
Just like the unspoken words I understood
A low melody hums inside this room
The gentle sound we once enjoyed in bloom
Now it hangs here
thin and hard to bear
Too faint to see
too heavy to disappear
I stay alone
no words
no hurried call
Let old feelings rise and softly enthrall
Your shadow lingers in the narrow space
I move around it
as if you're still in place
Old traces stay on the pages of my past
Every tender moment
bound to always last
I replay the quiet nights we spent as one
You held me close
sensing I'd come undone
Old traces stay where we used to lay at rest
Hidden quiet sorrows
buried deep within my chest
I need no light to know what slipped away
Your quiet presence lingers still today
The clock keeps ticking past the midnight hour
The distant streets have quieted down their power
I reach out slow then pull my hand back tight
What use are words when all our spark's out of sight
Soft rain taps lightly on the outer frame
I once counted drops beside your steady breath
Now only empty echoes fill the glass
Voices left unsaid
too hesitant to pass
I stay alone
no words
no hurried call
Let old feelings rise and softly enthrall
Your shadow lingers in the narrow space
I move around it
as if you're still in place
Old traces stay on the pages of my past
Hidden quiet sorrows
buried deep within my chest
I need no light to know what slipped away
Your quiet presence lingers still today
Some lonely nights I sense your step nearby
Some lonely nights I no longer wonder why
The space around me holds a bitter chill
Your faded spirit won't release my will
It's not the love that brings the bitter pain
It's the empty void where joy used to remain
Old traces stay on the pages of my past
Slow feelings drift the ache remains uncast
Old traces stay where we used to lay at rest
Your quiet presence lingers still today
