[Verse 1] I walked through rain as one walks through memory, With silence wrapped around me like a velvet coat. Old lanterns burned with melancholy dignity, And every shadow seemed to quote Forgotten promises and vanished names, The little tragedies we call our lives. For love, I learned, is not extinguished by the flames— It merely changes where it hides. [Chorus] And if the stars are only wounds Upon the body of the night, Then let me bleed beneath their beauty Rather than surrender light. Let the world accuse me of devotion, Let wisdom laugh and call me blind. For some hearts would rather perish Than leave their dreams behind. [Verse 2] I found your absence in old books, Between the pages touched by years. There are memories that age like wine, And others preserved by tears. They tell us time is merciful, Yet time remembers every scar. And strange enough, the things we lose Remain the nearest things we are. [Bridge] Perhaps eternity is not forever, But merely one perfect moment Too beautiful to die. Perhaps heaven itself Lives inside the eyes Of those we never truly say goodbye to. [Final Chorus] When every candle turns to darkness, When every melody grows still, I shall not mourn the passing hours, But bless the nights that loved me well. And if tomorrow never finds me, If dawn forgets my weary name, The lanterns will remember How beautifully we burned. [Outro] For nothing precious ever vanishes… It simply becomes A memory dressed in moonlight.
