Silver Veins

Instrumental Intro - piano and sitar

Verse 1

Rain on the window

Streaks like silver veins

I count the seconds

Since you went away

Duduk crying low

Through the evening haze

Memories like photographs

Fading in the grey

Pre-Chorus

And I know

I know you're gone

But I still

I still hold on

Chorus

Falling through the spaces

Where you used to be

Falling through the spaces

Every memory

Falling through the spaces

Like a ship at sea

Falling through the spaces

Just come back to me

Instrumental - violin solo over liquid funk beat

Verse 2

Sitar strings are humming

Notes you used to play

Jazz piano drifts in

Like a cigarette's grey

My hands keep reaching

For the shape of your face

But the room is empty

Nothing left to trace

Pre-Chorus

And I know

I know you're gone

But I still

I still hold on

Chorus

Falling through the spaces

Where you used to be

Falling through the spaces

Every memory

Falling through the spaces

Like a ship at sea

Falling through the spaces

Just come back to me

Bridge

Duduk moans at midnight

Violin weeps in strings

Sitar answers softly

Such heavy things

Time moves like water

Slow and deep and cold

Some losses never leave you

Some stories never told

Breakdown - liquid funk with rolling bass, duduk and piano

Chorus

Falling through the spaces

Where you used to be

Falling through the spaces

Every memory

Falling through the spaces

Like a ship at sea

Falling through the spaces

Just come back to me

Outro - piano fading, sitar, duduk

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm
