The Bicycle in the Haze

[Verse 1] Six thirty, shadows stretch long On the asphalt, leaves are swept Waiting for a bus, humming a song Secrets that the old town kept A faded sneaker by the curb A melted popsicle's sticky stain Marbles scattered, undisturbed Whispering through the falling rain [Pre-Chorus 1] Then a bicycle, a familiar face Pushing through the afternoon haze Suddenly time loses its pace Lost in a forgotten maze [Chorus] That summer sun on my skin Now a warmth within my hand Ghost of a smile, where do we begin? Lost in this forgotten land [Verse 2] Your sister's smile, I recall so clear From a time when we were young Now your hair has streaks of silver, dear That same old melody is sung From a radio in a wicker basket Playing tunes from way back when We just stare, can't quite unmask it That moment, here again [Pre-Chorus 2] The years have passed, a silent stream But your eyes hold the same bright gleam My heart beats like a waking dream Caught in this nostalgic theme [Chorus] That summer sun on my skin Now a warmth within my hand Ghost of a smile, where do we begin? Lost in this forgotten land [Bridge] We were just kids, no future planned Chasing dreams across the street Now we're here, an outstretched hand A bittersweet, familiar beat [Verse 3] Your brother's laughter, I can almost hear Echoing in the falling light We stand here now, the vision's clear Two souls meeting in the night [Chorus] That summer sun on my skin Now a warmth within my hand Ghost of a smile, where do we begin? Lost in this forgotten land [Outro] Ghost of a smile, where do we begin? Lost in this forgotten land
