Ashtrays

Lyrics: Maeve Ash Music: Maeve Ash 【未经Copyright人许可不得翻唱翻录或使用】 Last train’s gone But your perfume’s on my coat Streetlamp fading Like the letters that you wrote Ashtrays and alibis On this Formica stool You said you’d call by nine Guess I’m the midnight fool So I sit here counting coffee rings Till the waitress kills the light Every promise in my pocket Turns to paper in the night You were humming some sad melody While you rehearsed goodbye Now I’m slow dancing with shadows Ashtrays and alibis Your lipstick ghost On a half smoked cigarette Two cups cooling One for you that’s waiting yet Jukebox in the corner Plays a song we used to claim I mouth your name so softly But the echo’s not the same So I sit here counting coffee rings Till the waitress kills the light Every promise in my pocket Turns to paper in the night You were humming some sad melody While you rehearsed goodbye Now I’m slow dancing with shadows Ashtrays and alibis Maybe you’re under some neon halo Laughing like I never knew your eyes Maybe you’re tracing a map on his shoulder To all the places you told me were mine And I sit here counting coffee rings While they’re stacking up the chairs Every secret that you whispered Hangs like smoke in vacant air You were humming that same melody When you taught my heart to lie Now I’m slow dancing with shadows Ashtrays and alibis
