Memory Smells Like Ink

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The fountain pen nib glides soft across the page A purple streak spreads like a thin mist [Verse 1] I write a letter by hand to an old someone Purple ink soaks slow into the thin paper grain Every word written carries the smell of years Filling the closed room with old days [Pre-Chorus] Hardly anyone uses a fountain pen now Everything's typed and sent in a rush [Chorus] Memory smells like ink Rising each time I open the page Memory smells like ink Memory turned into a scent unforgettable [Verse 2] Now I keep so many old letters Open one and a whole purple-ink season appears Though the words are blurred the smell stays whole Like old love, faded yet still faint in the heart [Chorus] Memory smells like ink Rising each time I open the page Memory smells like ink Memory turned into a scent unforgettable [Bridge] Some memories don't lie in photos But in the smell of one small thing Ink may dry but the fragrance remains [Chorus] Memory smells like ink Rising each time I open the page Memory smells like ink Memory turned into a scent unforgettable [Outro] The paper still carries the faint smell of ink I tuck it safe in the drawer of memory [Fade Out] [End]
