Faded Beat of Us

The kitchen clock

is ticking loud

And silence occupies the room

I find your jacket

in the hall

And trace the outline of your perfume

And the porch light's still burning gold In a town that has

gone to sleep

I am holding onto the promises That we both swore we would

keep

Oh, I still find you in the quiet hours

Talking to the northern star

Wondering

if you

look up too And remember who we are

Yeah, the miles are long,

but love is deep And you're the only dream I keep

I flip through pages

of the past

To find the summer in your eyes

We had no money

in our coats

But we had those sapphire skies (mmmmm)

Remember how the car radio played

Crank the classic rock and roll

With a synthesizer beat

That could save our very soul

We were dancing on the gravel road

Underneath the cosmic dome

Oh, I still find you in the quiet hours

Talking to the northern star

Wondering

if you look up too And remember who we are

Yeah, the miles are long,

but love is deep And you're the only dream I keep

You are the only dream

I keep (mmmmm)

In the quiet hours
