A Button, Small and Grey

[Chorus] This button in my hand Felt your coat, felt your plan Now the train's pulling out Leaving silence, leaving doubt Just a whisper on the breeze Caught among the lonely trees [Verse] Two o'clock, sunbeams slant On this worn-out, dusty plant Green train sighs, a moment held A story silently compelled Folded paper, paper thin Slipped inside, where do I begin? [Pre-Chorus] A quick breath, a final glance Caught within this fleeting trance Pocket warm, a fading heat Bitter, oh, so bittersweet [Chorus] This button in my hand Felt your coat, felt your plan Now the train's pulling out Leaving silence, leaving doubt Just a whisper on the breeze Lost among the lonely trees [Verse] Ticket stub, a paper ghost Dancing where the wind blows most Your silhouette, a fading line Was this moment truly mine? Minutes melt like morning dew Everything feels sharp and new [Bridge] I watch the tail lights disappear Swallowing a rising tear This station's echo, cold and vast A memory built to never last Just this button, small and grey To mark the closing of the day [Chorus] This button in my hand Felt your coat, felt your plan Now the train's pulling out Leaving silence, leaving doubt Just a whisper on the breeze Lost among the lonely trees [Outro]
