faded flicker

{slow intimate piano intro,

soft room mic warmth} (humm)

The rain is tapping on the glass

Each drop a memory of the past

I watch the shadows fade away

Nothing left for me to say

{vocal fragile, close-mic'd, breathy}

And the cold wind blows tonight

No more warmth, no fading light

Just the space you left behind

In the corners of my mind

(ohhh) {soaring sorrowful

vocal, piano builds with

subtle strings} I keep your letters in a drawer

But I don't read them anymore

The ink is dry,

the pages old

Another story left untold

{soft vocal, piano drops back to sparse chords} And the cold wind

blows tonight

No more warmth, no fading light

Just the space you left behind

In the corners of my mind

{powerful emotional peak, building strings and full piano resonance}

Just the space you left behind... (ahhhh)

{piano fades to single notes,

soft breathing, slow decay to

silence}
