Ghosts on the Mantel

[Verse] Dust-draped frames on the wooden shelf Faded faces Remnants of time's theft Crooked smile in the sepia's gaze Echoes of laughter from distant days [Verse 2] Grandpa's hat and Mama's old dress In the quiet room Their memories rest A whispered song from forgotten throats Each crinkle tells tales of long-past notes [Chorus] Ghosts on the mantel Shadows in the light Stories seen through a hazy sight Once there was color Life And sound Now just whispers in a frame Heartbound
