“Vapor and Ghost”

“Vapor and Ghost”

Verse 1
I’ve been countin’ days by the silence on my phone,
Tryin’ not to call, not to drive by your home.
Every shadow in town wears your perfume’s disguise,
And I swear I saw you once, just a trick of my eyes.

Chorus
You’re a whisper, a vapor, a ghost in my mind,
A flash of our fire I can’t leave behind.
Love and desire still burn where they froze,
You’re whiskey thoughts and wine-stained glows.

Verse 2
That song on the jukebox takes me back again,
To the heat of your breath, to the taste of your skin.
I walk down that same grocery aisle, I know,
Turn the corner slow… but there’s no one, just echoes.

Chorus
You’re a whisper, a vapor, a ghost in my mind,
A flash of our fire I can’t leave behind.
Love and desire still burn where they froze,
You’re whiskey thoughts and wine-stained glows.

Bridge
I raise one more glass to the ghost of our sin,
The burn of the past where it all should’ve been.
Can’t drown the memory, can’t let it go,
You fade in the distance like cigarette smoke.

Final Chorus (soft, aching)
You’re a whisper, a vapor, a ghost in my mind,
The kind of forever that time can’t unwind.
Love and desire still burn where they froze…
You’re whiskey thoughts… and wine-stained glows.

Folk, country, ballad.
