Keeper the dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Steam curls like a whispered confession, A chipped mug, a coffee‑black confession. She slides a latte across the counter, Eyes like river rocks, secrets in a corner. [Pre‑Chorus] I see the way she fidgets with a ring, A memory on the tip of her tongue. The way she stares at the ceiling fan, Like it's a map of a life she can’t span. [Chorus] In this little corner of the city’s hum, I’m the keeper of your silent drum. We trade our stories over sugar and steam, You keep your lips closed, I keep the dream. (Keep the dream, keep the dream) [Verse 2] The old jazz record hums in the backroom, A lonely sax sings of a lost afternoon. He orders two shots, no sugar this time, His eyes look like someone’s climbing a climb. The light flickers like a heart on a dare, He whispers “I’m leaving” but the words aren’t there. I pour the dark, watch it swallow the night, His silhouette fades, but the rhythm stays bright. [Pre‑Chorus] I hear the beat of a heart that’s racing, A story written in his face, no erasing. She leans close, a secret in her laugh, The world outside is a far‑off photograph. [Chorus] In this little corner of the city’s hum, I’m the keeper of your silent drum. We trade our stories over sugar and steam, You keep your lips closed, I keep the dream. (Keep the dream, keep the dream) [Bridge] Maybe I’m just a barista, a voice on the line, But tonight I feel the weight of every line. The city’s pulse, the streetlight’s sigh, I hold your secrets till the first sunrise. [Chorus] In this little corner of the city’s hum, I’m the keeper of your silent drum. We trade our stories over sugar and steam, You keep your lips closed, I keep the dream. (Keep the dream, keep the dream) [Outro] When the last cup empties, the night is done, I’ll taste the echo of your unfinished sun. The counter’s quiet, the world turns on— I’ll keep the dream till dawn.
