The Night We Never Had

The window stayed half open all night Letting the city wander in Even the air made room for you Though you had never been Outside, July forgot to breathe While distant lights rolled by The night kept one more place for us But only passed us by Some stories fade before they start Some songs remember anyway The night we never had Still lingers in these walls I hear it When the last windows fade to dark I still leave space beside me Like you almost found your way Funny how I miss The night we never had The record reached its final groove Then circled words it couldn't say I let it play another time As if you'd walk in anyway Your name was never on my lips I kept it folded with the dark Some promises are never made Still leave their mark Maybe love is not the touch Maybe it's the chair left empty Maybe it's a glass of wine No one ever poured Maybe somewhere in another life We stayed until the morning Here, all I have Is the echo of a meeting we never had The night we never had Still finds me now and then Like smoke that keeps its perfume Long after it's gone I never lost your heart It never came to mine Yet somehow I still mourn The night we never had The night We never had
