Midnight Between the Notes

The city hums through the window pane

I keep your name like a soft refrain

Rose light glows where the shadows haunt

I hear your ghost in the quiet hall

Every clock, it knows like it knows

How the ache in my chest still grows

I reach for you in the half-lit room

But the night just falls into the gloom

Stay in the dark with me

Where the silence can finally breathe

Hold me in what we used to be

'Til the moon slips out to sea

Stay in the dark with mе

Let this longing drift slowly

If you're a memory, let it be

Soft as the wind of the melody

Your trace lingers in the vinyl crackle

And a tiny spark of a fading tackle

I pour one more thought in a hollow glass

I watch it shimmer then fade fast

Every clock hand moves like it knows

How the ache in my chest still grows

I reach for you in the half-lit room

But the night just falls into the gloom

Stay in the dark with me

Where the silence can finally breathe

Hold me in what we used to be

'Til the moon slips out to sea

Stay in the dark with mе

Let this longing drift slowly

If you're a memory, let it be

Soft as the end of the melody

Breath to breathe, I'll let you go

In the velvet of the afterglow
