[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] You leave your blue silk umbrella by the door A paper crane turns slowly on the floor The river folds the towers into rain I say your name, then let it fade again [Instrumental] [Chorus] If I could cross the glass between our worlds I’d find you where the river holds its breath Your hands would warm the winter in my palms And I would choose this fragile life again [Chinese Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] The old tea cools beside the window frame Your handwriting still leans into my name I keep the ticket from that last night train As if a small blue stamp could call you back again [Chorus 2] If I could cross the glass between our worlds I’d find you where the river holds its breath Your hands would warm the winter in my palms And I would choose this fragile life again [Instrumental Build] [Instrumental] [Final Vocal Climax] When every borrowed morning disappears I’ll carry what you gave me, clear and whole Across the water, past the turning years Your kindness keeps a window in my soul I choose this life, I choose this life again [Extended Finale] [Instrumental]
