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
