Dreamlike Memories (Ember)

[Verse] Whispers linger in the fading air Shadows dance where no one’s there Photographs in frames of gold Speak of tales too old to hold [Verse 2] Windows wide to a starry night Memories flicker in the pale moonlight Time has secrets it won’t share Yet in my heart They’re everywhere [Chorus] Dreamlike memories Where do they go Fading softly like a winter’s snow They melt away but leave their trace In the quiet corners of my space [Verse 3] Books unopened on the dusty shelf Speak volumes of a younger self Love and loss A woven thread Echo in the things unsaid [Verse 4] Rain taps gently on the glass Each droplet carries ghosts of the past The scent of jasmine lingers still Chasing dreams against my will [Bridge] What we leave and where we stray Carves our souls along the way Yet the quiet hum of distant years Holds my laughter Holds my tears
