Dusk paints the lake in whiskey hue
Your ghost lingers on the window view
Cabs blur like tears down neon streets
This penthouse void where memories eat
Oh city hums a lullaby
But this bed's an ocean I'm drifting by
Streetlights flicker your last goodbye
We're midnight's unfinished wine
Two shadows in the taxi line
Your reflection in every pane
This concrete love that won't drain
Moon bleeds through the fire escape
Still taste your lies like bitter grape
Subway rumbles beneath my feet
Like your pulse when we'd cheat the heat
Cigarette butts in rainy clay
Our last kiss in that cabaret
We're midnight's unfinished wine
Frozen hands on the 'L' train line
Your perfume in the midnight rain
This neon wound that won't wane
Moon weeps through the water tower
Still trace the scars hour by hour
Skyscrapers play chess with stars
While I count our phantom scars
That balcony where you said wait
Now just the wind through the rusted gate
Velvet shadows on the ledge
Traffic lights swear your name
