Evergreen Eyes - epilogue Lyrics

It was daylight
It was dusk
It was painted on plaster walls
A flash-flood soaking weathered carpet
Midnight coffee-stains on
Bookshelves softened

It made ghosts vanish that once did haunt
It was relieving catastrophic tides at dawn
A breath of fresh air in morning voices
Say goodbye? no, I'll just avoid it

Chapters written by the hands of fate
Minutes to hours, it was all the same
Longing glances, bolder everyday
The story of us from the very first page

Rewritten words we never said
Pages of stories, no thing to regret
Honey-sweet coffee with oat milk and cinnamon
A miracle of happenstance, etched in crimson

Every heartache felt forgotten
It cast itself in stage-lit stardom
Being wrapped in warmer sunlight
Weeks on end with hopes held so high

Chapters written by the hands of fate
Minutes to hours, it was all the same
Longing glances, bolder everyday
The story of us from that very first page

So, so long to the world!
How long it did pause
We couldn't see it coming
Our epilogue

We were a million things at once
Until you left me to write the epilogue
So now I leave you with
Our epilogue

Chapters written by the hands of fate
Minutes to hours, it was all the same
Longing glances, colder everyday
The story of us from that very first page
