The Ink of Wildflowers

Lyrics: DJ_NEOHHY Music: DJ_NEOHHY Arranger: DJ_NEOHHY The wind chimes catch a memory This old envelope smells like the sea Our shadows used to run so free Before we learned what "used to be" A pressed daisy in a dusty book The quiet grace of a sideways look I’m waiting where the garden grows Where the river sighs and the clover blows Waiting for the light to fade Waiting in the secret shade The willow needs the creek The silence needs to speak Like a traveler needs a home Like a poem needs a roam I’m just a song that’s out of breath Chasing life and cheating death I see your face, the strings hum low A story only we could know The kitchen steam, the candle glow A handwritten world from long ago I see your face, the light leaks in Like summer soaking through my skin We said goodbye to find the truth But I still hold the ghost of youth Deep inside the wood Deep inside for good A charcoal sketch of a rusted clock The sound of boots on the wooden dock I’m still editing the way you laughed On that little boat, that wooden raft Maybe a field, maybe a porch Carrying a memory like a torch The way you cried was clear and sweet Like rain upon a cobblestone street And I belong... I belong to the "us" that’s gone Ooh... Mm... just let it breathe... I see your face, the strings hum low A story only we could know The kitchen steam, the candle glow A handwritten world from long ago I see your face, the light leaks in Like summer soaking through my skin We said goodbye to find the truth But I still hold the ghost of youth The guitar’s heavy on my knee Just like it always used to be We’d sing until the stars leaned down Above this sleepy, quiet town Anywhere... Just anywhere with you...
