[Intro] [grand piano playing a repetitive melodic motif] [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] I saw the purple ink drifting down your hands Like a late‑night kiss falling where the rooftop stands Flowers on the shingles growing soft and slow Between the passing clouds and the silver glow And your shadow circled back through the gentle haze I held on to your name like a breath I couldn’t save High above, far below, I followed you Step by step [Chorus] [distorted electric guitar enters, driving drums, orchestral strings] Purple ink, don’t fade out — stay on our skin, stay in our sound Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs Purple ink, carry me right to the edge of the unseen ground Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs [Verse 2] [drums and guitar drop out, piano and bass continue] There were winding stairs carved out of the wind And white veils hanging where the hours begin I laid my cheek against the cold, cold stone Then your eyes appeared in an arch of their own And your shadow drifted back like a quiet flame I could recognize your light in every place it came High above, far below, I followed you In your steps [Chorus] [full band enters, high-energy drums] Purple ink, don’t fade out — stay on our skin, stay in our sound Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs Purple ink, carry me right to the edge of the unseen ground Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs [Bridge] [piano solo with ambient synth pads] If I close my eyes, I still find you there In the drifting petals and the golden air You reach out your hand without a word And the sky unfolds like a night unheard [Chorus] [crescendo, full orchestral arrangement] Purple ink, don’t fade out — stay on our skin, stay in our sound Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs Purple ink, carry me right to the edge of the unseen ground Flowers on the roofs, flowers on the roofs [Outro] [instruments fade out, piano motif remains] [piano ends on a sustained chord]
