Lyric

The saxophone sighs with the weight of the night

A whisper of longing in flickering light

The piano replies with a question, so sweet

While my heart beats lonely in a rhythm offbeat

The bass tells a tale, slow and restrained

Of dreams that were lost, of love left unstained

In the crack of the keys, a shadow does play

Echoing words I was too scared to say

Caught in between the ache and surrender

A fragile goodbye, tender yet slender

I reach for the truth, but it slips through my hand

Love is a tide I can't understand

Whispers of you linger soft on the breeze

The saxophone weeps; I'm brought to my knees

Your shadow entwines in this dim reverie

A duet of ghosts, just the music and me

The candles burn low, casting secrets and doubt

Piano keys stumble as dreams stagger out

Each note is a question unanswered, unknown

As the bass keeps the pulse of my heart’s undertone

Caught in between the ache and surrender

A fragile goodbye, tender yet slender

The echoes of touch I can no longer chase

Fade like the moonlight’s caress on your face
