Amber Echoes

[Intro] [Chorus] Stay in the amber glow Before the whistle blows One year through the smoke I’ll wait for you to come back Don’t let the shadow grow Just stay in the amber glow [Verse] London fog hangs thick and low Autumn steals the day we know Platform lights in soft embrace Paint our parting in a warm trace Steam rises, drifts into the air Reflecting in your weary stare The station clock stands frozen still Echoing the biting autumn chill [Pre-Chorus] The iron heart begins to race Cold winds dance around the space Edinburgh whispers through the night And nothing feels quite right [Chorus] Stay in the amber glow Before the whistle blows One year through the smoke I’ll wait for you to come back Don’t let the shadow grow Just stay in the amber glow [Verse] I press a note into your hand A book to guide you through the land The verses that you loved the most To anchor you against the ghost You reach to touch my weary face Time holds still in this place I force a smile to mask the ache To hold you for a moment’s sake [Bridge] The metal screeches on the rail Your silhouette, a fragile tale Pages flutter in the breeze Like whispers through the autumn trees I nod to let you go your way But my heart begs you to stay [Chorus] Stay in the amber glow Before the whistle blows One year through the smoke I’ll wait for you to come back Don’t let the shadow grow Just stay in the amber glow [Verse] The red lights fade into the dark Leaving just a hollow mark I stand where you used to be With ink, salt, and memory The station floor is cold and wide Nowhere left for me to hide I watch the ghost of where you sat And that is simply that [Chorus] Stay in the amber glow Before the whistle blows One year through the smoke I’ll wait for you to come back Don’t let the shadow grow Just stay in the amber glow [Outro]
