Crimson wine in a paper cup
Dust dancing where the light gives up
Your chair’s still pulled out just right
Like you might come back tonight
The window sighs with every breeze
Old records hum in minor keys
My voice is low, but not alone
You're the echo in this tone
Crimson wine and dust
Stories buried in trust
You never said goodbye
But silence learned to lie
I wear your coat like armor now
Still feel the chill, don’t ask me how
Ashes left where fire died
Still I light a match and try
Crimson wine and dust
Love that turned into rust
Sip by sip I let you fade
One memory for every shade
Mmm...
I talk to you in song
And you still sing along
