Velvet Echo

[Verse 1]
Three suns have slipped past the Oakland hills, a knowing little tease
And yet your ghost still clings to me, caught on the ocean breeze
I found your scent woven deep inside, this jacket I forgot
A velvet trace, a silent wink, right on the very spot

[Chorus]
Oh, ghost threads, clinging to the seams
Your perfume, a secret in my dreams
A delicate lace, a whisper on the air
A memory I wear, a love I can still share

[Verse 2]
That quiet moment by the bay, your hand just grazed my arm
The jasmine note, a languid hum, warding off all harm
Now this iridescent memory, a dye that won't quite fade
A warm patchwork of our unspoken truth, in shadows softly laid

[Chorus]
Oh, ghost threads, clinging to the seams
Your perfume, a secret in my dreams
A delicate lace, a whisper on the air
A memory I wear, a love I can still share

[Bridge]
I could wash it out, unravel this fragile skein
But why erase the map of lines, where our silent language has been?
It’s a quiet understanding, a knowing little smile
To carry your presence, just for a little while

[Outro]
Your scent, a murmur, soft and low
Till our clasped hands meet again, you know.
