The Damp Note

[Verse] Faded spines and stories untold Smell of paper, centuries old My silk scarf, still a little damp As I pack away the lamp Another day begins to cease Searching for a moment's peace [Pre-Chorus] Then a shadow, tall and kind A familiar face I always find Flipping vinyl, lost in sound He walks toward me, makes no sound [Chorus] Raindrops whisper on the glass tonight Dust motes dancing in the fading light This old bookstore holds a silent plea Will this moment finally set me free? [Verse] He holds a ticket, soft and wet A crumpled note, I can't forget Scrawled in haste, a hurried line A question meant for only mine My fingers tremble, brush his own A single seed of hope is sown [Pre-Chorus] My heart skips beats, a sudden rush A tender, unexpected hush He looks at me, his eyes so deep Secrets that the old walls keep [Chorus] Raindrops whisper on the glass tonight Dust motes dancing in the fading light This old bookstore holds a silent plea Will this moment finally set me free? [Bridge] Across the street, a cozy glow Coffee's calling, soft and low This worn-out paper, damp and small A chance to answer, give my all (Ooh, will I go?) (Ooh, I don't know) [Chorus] Raindrops whisper on the glass tonight Dust motes dancing in the fading light This old bookstore holds a silent plea Will this moment finally set me free?
