The Last Melody
Rain on the window of my dusty little shop
She walked in with a treasure time had made to stop
An old wooden box that her mother used to wind She asked
if I could fix it,
if I wouldn't mind
I said it might take weeks,
the gears are worn and old
But we can fix what has been broken Piece by piece,
the silent gears will turn
Every word that we leave unspoken Is a lesson we are about
to learn
Hearts can mend just like a melody If you give them time
to breathe
She kept coming back
as the autumn leaves fell down
Sharing childhood stories of this sleepy little town
Then deep inside the casing,
behind a rusted spring
I found a faded photo
of a golden summer ring
My father and her mother,
smiling side by side
That we can fix what has been broken Piece by piece,
the silent gears will turn Every word that we leave unspoken Is
a lesson we are about
to learn
Hearts can mend just like a melody If you give them time
to breathe (oh yes we do)
An old connection
written in the dust
Turning doubt and history to trust
Two separate paths that finally aligned In the tiny gears we spent
our days to wind
We have fixed what has been broken Piece by piece,
the golden gears now turn Every word that we finally spoken Is
the sweetest song we had to learn
Hearts are mended by this melody
Now that you are here with me
I wind the key,
the music starts to play
(hummmmm) No longer broken,
we found our way
