Wet Pavement After Rain

[Intro] [Light Vinyl Crackle] [Slow Bassline] [Verse: Intimate] City sleeps beneath the darkening sky Wet asphalt catches all the streetlight glow Sidewalk cracks hold pools of golden light Boots click soft on stones still wet and cold One open sign glows through the misty air Memories creep out where the shadows grow [Chorus: Wistful] Streets are quiet, world has slowed to still [Hook: Emotional] Memories drift like fog across the hill Time don't hurry when the night is still Wet air holds all the words we never spill [Verse: Intimate] I pass the bench where we used to sit Count the cars that never pass this way The open door smells of old paper and ink The clerk don't look up from his book today I keep walking slow, don't need to be nowhere Just let old ghosts drift out to play [Chorus: Wistful] Streets are quiet, world has slowed to still [Hook: Emotional] Memories drift like fog across the hill Footsteps echo where the concrete bends All the stories we left here end to begin [Bridge: Vulnerable] Some doors stay open when the world is closed Some steps keep walking when the story's old I don't look for answers, don't need to know Just let the fog wrap around my soul All the good days, all the bitter sweet Float like light on the wet dark street [Outro: Fading] [Hook: Emotional] Memories drift like fog across the hill Boots click softer, moving further on City keeps sleeping, I'm almost gone [Light Vinyl Crackle Fading]
