[Verse]
The clock hands spin but the air stands still
A shadowed glimpse of a fading thrill
The room once bright now veiled in grey
The memory slips further away
[Verse 2]
Your laughter danced like light on the sea
Now it's a ghost that won’t answer me
The walls still hum your favorite tune
But it’s lost in the whispers of the moon
[Chorus]
Oh time you thief with gentle claws
You stole the shine and left the flaws
A treasure buried deep in the haze
The echo of those golden days
[Verse 3]
I chase the scent of a fleeting spring
But winter’s frost grips everything
The colors dim the edges blur
And I can’t recall the sound of her
[Bridge]
The strings they weep as the keys fall soft
Each note a fragment of what I’ve lost
A picture fades no frame to bind
A memory slipping from my mind
[Chorus]
Oh time you thief with gentle claws
You stole the shine and left the flaws
A treasure buried deep in the haze
The echo of those golden days
