(Verse 1)
The candle is flickering, losing its fight
Against the slow swallow of a 2026 night
I’m tracing the patterns of dust on the floor
Where your shadow don’t dance or reside anymore
We were a season, a spark in the rain
Now I’m just the echo of beautiful pain
The clock on the mantel has nothing to say
As the scent of your jasmine starts fading away.
(Chorus)
So sleep in the silence, let the dream take the wheel
To a place where the heartache is no longer real
We were built out of vapor, out of mist, out of frost
In the hollow of all that we’ve already lost
Close your eyes, darlin’, let the memory cost
In the wake of a love... ephemeral and lost.
(Verse 2)
I reach for your side of the linen and lace
But I’m met with the chill of an abandoned space
Was it a moment? Or was it a life?
That cut through my spirit like a dull, rusted knife
The moon is a sliver of bone in the sky
Watching the ghost of our"forever" go by
We were written in water, we were etched upon sand
Now I’m just a stranger in my own native land.
(Bridge)
They say nothing lasts, that the stars eventually tire
That every great passion is a funeral pyre
But I wasn’t ready for the summer to end
To lose my whole world in the guise of a friend.
(Chorus)
So sleep in the silence, let the dream take the wheel
To a place where the heartache is no longer real
We were built out of vapor, out of mist, out of frost
In the hollow of all that we’ve already lost
Close your eyes, darlin’, let the memory cost
In the wake of a love... ephemeral and lost.
(Outro)
Like breath on a mirror...
Like dew on the leaf.
The joy was so narrow...
The canyon is grief.
It’s gone now.
Just gone.
Rest your head...
Until the dawn.
(Ephemeral love...)
(Lost in the light...)
