[Intro] (Dynamic synthesizer melody with a steady, upbeat drum pattern and bass line) [Chorus] The silver moon is rising o'er the hill, The world outside is quiet, cold and still. I turn the pages of a dusty book, And give the past a long and final look. A summer breeze that blew so long ago, A face I loved but had to let it go. The shadows dance across the empty floor, Like footsteps walking through an open door. [Verse 1] Oh, the gold and the grey, How the years drift away. In a dream that I keep, While the rest of us sleep. [Chorus] We ran through fields of clover in the sun, Before the heavy rains had just begun. I hear your laughter echoing so clear, Although I know you’re nowhere truly near. The house is gone, the garden's overgrown, I’m standing in a place I’ve never known. The colors bleed until they turn to white, A lonely beacon in the middle of the night. [Verse 2] Now the scenes start to fade, In the light and the shade. And the heart only knows, Where the cold river flows. [Bridge] You can't rewind the ticking of the clock, Or find the key to turn a rusty lock. The tide comes in and washes out the shore, Until the "then" is nothing anymore. [Guitar & Keyboard Solo] (High-energy instrumental break following the bridge melody) [Chorus] The silver moon is rising o'er the hill, The world outside is quiet, cold and still. I turn the pages of a dusty book, And give the past a long and final look. A summer breeze that blew so long ago, A face I loved but had to let it go. The shadows dance across the empty floor, Like footsteps walking through an open door. [Outro] The gold and the grey... Fading away... In a dream that I keep... (Fading out with the signature rhythmic synth line)
