*(Verse 1)* Whispers in the twilight, shadows soft and long, I return to the cradle where my heart once belonged, Silent nights of laughter, where now hollow echoes ring, I see the fading embers of the warmth that they bring. *(Pre-Chorus)* No trumpet of the heavens, no heralding decree, Just a quiet unraveling, oh, how it frightens me, The gentle hands once mighty, now trembling with the years, A tapestry of time threads through laughter and the tears. *(Chorus)* Hold me closer, as the edges fray, In this house of memories, we’ll never drift away, Time is a thief in the shadows, with its chilling grip, I’ll etch your stories deep within, let them never slip. In echoes of the heart, where this love will blaze, I’ll treasure every moment, through this softening haze. *(Verse 2)* They shuffle through the kitchen, a dance of days gone by, Footsteps slow and weary, beneath a fading sky, Once energetic giants, now shadows thin and frail, Their laughter, a soft whisper, like a distant gale. *(Pre-Chorus)* No more the mighty fortress, just a garden grown wild, Moments lost in stillness, a heart burdened and mild, I hear the tales retold, a sonnet of their strife, In every word repeating, the essence of their life. *(Chorus)* Hold me closer, as the edges fray, In this house of memories, we’ll never drift away, Time is a thief in the shadows, with its chilling grip, I’ll etch your stories deep within, let them never slip. In echoes of the heart, where this love will blaze, I’ll treasure every moment, through this softening haze. *(Bridge)* Every sigh a testament, to the years we've shared and lost, In their eyes, the twilight glimmers, a reminder of the cost. The world spins on relentless, while they fade from the scene, Yet in this gentle ache, I find the space between. *(Verse 3)* Now I see the figures, not as parents, just as souls, Navigating twilight, as the evening takes its toll, I breathe in the essence of their fragile light, Clinging to these moments, in the fading of the night. *(Chorus)* Hold me closer, as the edges fray, In this house of memories, we’ll never drift away, Time is a thief in the shadows, with its chilling grip, I’ll etch your stories deep within, let them never slip. In echoes of the heart, where this love will blaze, I’ll treasure every moment, through this softening haze. *(Outro)* So here we stand together, beneath this fading sky, With each heartbeat reminding me, that we all must say goodbye. In the echoes of the heart, I’ll carry you with grace, For every ordinary moment, you shall forever hold your place. Hold me closer!!! as the edges fray... In this house!!! of memories.... we’ll never drift away...
