The guitar strums a soft melancholic tune
Beneath the city’s fading afternoon
I met you where the golden lights align
A wealthy heart that made my spirit shine
Your father’s eyes held cold and judging stares
My humble roots were lost in empty air
He saw a dream I couldn’t afford to keep
While your own family watched me fall asleep
The wedding bells are ringing close and near
But I am not the man you’re waiting here
We met one last time by the window pane
To say goodbye to love and sweet refrain
No words were left just tears upon your face
I walked away into this quiet space
The engine roars the wheels lift off the ground
Leaving your world of velvet and of sound
I watch the skyline shrink beneath my seat
A bitter truth I finally must meet
I’ll never go back I’ll let it be
Just a ghost of you in memory
