Echoes of Fading Sun

Faded sunlight on my skin, a memory's faint embrace

Another season starts to spin, leaving an empty space

I trace the lines of a forgotten map, to days we used to know

Caught in a bittersweet time trap, watching the last light glow

Sand still in the pockets of my jeans, a seashell in my hand

Whispers from what truly means, a love across the land

Oh, Summer Ghost, you linger near, a shimmer in the air

A whisper only I can hear, a moment hard to bear

You're the echo of a laughter, on a breeze that's lost its way

Haunting every morning after, from a long-gone yesterday

My Summer Ghost, you drift and play, in corners of my mind

A beautiful and soft decay, the best I left behind

The scent of jasmine on the breeze, through windows open wide

Reminds me of those perfect ease, with nowhere left to hide

Barefoot steps upon the pavement, shadows stretching long and thin

Lost within that warm enchantment, where did it all begin?

I search for faces in the crowd, a familiar glance, a smile

But only memories allowed, to stay with me a while

Oh, Summer Ghost, you linger near, a shimmer in the air

A whisper only I can hear, a moment hard to bear

You're the echo of a laughter, on a breeze that's lost its way

Haunting every morning after, from a long-gone yesterday

My Summer Ghost, you drift and play, in corners of my mind

A beautiful and soft decay, the best I left behind

I know you're not a physical thing, just a feeling, warm and vast

But every time the crickets sing, I'm wishing it could last

I keep you safe within my heart, a secret, tender place

Even though we fell apart, I still see your sunlit face

Oh, Summer Ghost, you linger near, a shimmer in the air

A whisper only I can hear, a moment hard to bear

You're the echo of a laughter, on a breeze that's lost its way

Haunting every morning after, from a long-gone yesterday

My Summer Ghost, you drift and play, in corners of my mind

A beautiful and soft decay, the best I left behind

My Summer Ghost, you drift and play... the best I left behind.
