Sunset in silver thread

Verse

Amber sun sets slow against the wall

Painting shadows in the room

Silver thread of light across my floor

Fading hum of evening air

Candle flickers on the shelf

Your perfume still lingers here

I close my eyes and watch it fall

Into a thousand tiny lines

Every one a memory we made

Pre-Chorus

Can I hold onto this one last bit?

Is it yours or mine?

The glass is empty, but the glow

Lingers on my skin

Chorus

Sunset in silver thread

Catch you there instead

Verse 2

Coffee cup still warm beside me

Your book open on the armrest

A strand of hair across your collar

Frozen like a tiny kiss

The room is darkening fast now

But I see it all so clear

Every line, every single shape

I press my palm against the pane

Trying to keep the light from fading

Even though we're not here anymore

Pre-Chorus

Can I hold onto this one last bit?

Is it yours or mine?

The glass is empty, but the glow

Lingers on my skin

Chorus

Sunset in silver thread

Catch you there instead
