Sunset & Scents

[Chorus] Across the lake, the sun descends Reflecting gold on you, my friend This old cafe, a whispered vow Feels like a lifetime, here and now Your sketched smile, a gentle art Stole the pieces of my heart [Verse] Pulled a ticket from my coat A faded blue, a hopeful note From years ago, a different scene Now you're here, my artful queen Your silver pin, a tiny gleam Slipped as you turned, a waking dream [Pre-Chorus] And I pretended to be mad But my heart was feeling glad Watching you flip through your book Every line, a knowing look [Chorus] Across the lake, the sun descends Reflecting gold on you, my friend This old cafe, a whispered vow Feels like a lifetime, here and now Your sketched smile, a gentle art Stole the pieces of my heart [Verse] I trace the light, a perfumed haze Through crystal glass, in amber rays A secret scent, I bottled deep While promises we meant to keep Were lost in time, or so it seemed Until this moment, brightly beamed [Pre-Chorus] And I pretended to be mad But my heart was feeling glad Watching you flip through your book Every line, a knowing look [Chorus] Across the lake, the sun descends Reflecting gold on you, my friend This old cafe, a whispered vow Feels like a lifetime, here and now Your sketched smile, a gentle art Stole the pieces of my heart [Bridge] Who looked away, who spoke first then? Was it you, or was it when My breath caught, my world stood still? This quiet moment starts to fill With all the words we left unsaid Inside my hopeful, aching head [Verse] The evening chill begins to creep Secrets that the shadows keep I offer you a mint so cool Breaking every single rule Of distance, time, and what has been A sweet exchange, where do we begin? [Chorus] Across the lake, the sun descends Reflecting gold on you, my friend This old cafe, a whispered vow Feels like a lifetime, here and now Your sketched smile, a gentle art Stole the pieces of my heart [Outro]
