You Left Me A Song

out of the glitter and the shine

out of the corner of my eye

saw you walk in, i freezed the frame

my luck again

we could have been strangers if we tried

moved to the rhythm side by side

maybe a glance across the room

blue moon

why do the hours burn so long?

sunset and shadows call

i hear the music playing on

i know you're gone but you

you left me a song

under the skylight after dark

crept in to find you, what a lark

we were like children stripping down

the joy we found

but even the lights that turn me on

make it so hard to see beyond

make it a rainbow in my mind

this borrowed time

why do the hours burn so long?

sunset and shadows call

i hear the music playing on

i know you're gone, but you

you left me a song
