Fading Into Gold 5

Verse

Rain stops just as the streetlight turns amber

Drops still clinging to the eaves like small breaths

Your coat hung on a hook I remember now

Steam rising from a cup gone cold

Window pane holds a fading blue line

Room still holds your shadow, quiet and slow

Pre-Chorus

Something in me wants this last little bit

The softest part before it turns to grey

Is this how you stay — a single hue

Just holding on till the light gives way

Chorus

Fading into gold then fading away

Soft and slow, I let it stay

Not forever, just this one glow

Fading into gold, and then I go

Verse

Lamp flickers once before it's out

Photograph curled behind the glass frame

Your handwriting on a letter card

Coffee cold beside my hand still warm with you

Window sill holding one last drop

Sky turns lavender, soft and true

Pre-Chorus

Something in me wants this last little bit

The softest part before it turns to grey

Is this how you stay — a single hue

Just holding on till the light gives way

Chorus

Fading into gold then fading away

Soft and slow, I let it stay

Not forever, just this one glow

Fading into gold, and then I go

Bridge

Maybe fading's not losing, maybe it's a door

A color lingering before the floor

I'm holding warmth that doesn't hold me back

Just a breath of light before the black

Chorus

Fading into gold then fading away

Soft and slow, I let it stay

Not forever, just this one glow

Fading into gold, and then I go
