Water in the Lamp (wersja 2)

Intro

Glass in the windowpane

Rain on the sill tonight

Verse 1 – male vocal

Window fogging slow like a mirror held to my chest

Steam off the paper cup I left on the desk

The city lights down below turn into diamonds and haze

I'm watching it all from this floor, this room, these walls, this phase

Chorus – airy falsetto

Water in the lamp, soft as a sigh

Letting everything else just drift on by

Nothing to hold now but the glow

Watching the world go down where the streetlights low

Verse 2

Bare feet bare wood, the warmth of a radiator hum

A book I never finished open face down

Neighborhood lights blinking like they're spelling my name out in Morse code again

The rain keeps falling like it's got nowhere else to be

Chorus – airy falsetto

Water in the lamp, soft as a sigh

Letting everything else just drift on by

Nothing to hold now but the glow

Watching the world go down where the streetlights low

Bridge – male vocal

Maybe this is the only calm I know

Just me and the rain and the quiet it owns

I used to chase after every last light

Tonight I'm staying right here, holding on

Chorus – airy falsetto

Water in the lamp, soft as a sigh

Letting everything else just drift on by

Nothing to hold now but the glow

Watching the world go down where the streetlights low
