Faint light filters through the cloudy glass
A melody hums, soft and slow
You were a thought behind the steam
A shape blurred in gentle grey
Cups clink, pages turn
But time has slipped away
I try to read between the lines
But all I hear is rain
Tapping rainlight on the floor
Memories I can't ignore
You’re the quiet in the storm
Still with me, just not warm
The window fogs with your old smile
Familiar, but fading fast
I reach for words we left
In a silence built to last
I stir my coffee twice
But the answers never change
Tapping rainlight on the floor
Memories I can't ignore
You’re the quiet in the storm
Still with me, just not warm
Maybe love just softly ends
Like jazz that fades before it bends
Tapping rainlight on the floor
I don’t wait like I did before
You were the hush in every chord
Still here, but not anymore
The rain goes on
But the song has changed
