[Verse 1]
Glass on the table
Lip print and lipstick stain
Your chair still turned toward me
Like it’s waitin’ on your name
[Chorus]
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Burned down to the filter last night
Now the room still tastes like you
But there’s no one in that light
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Faded in this flicker and spark
I keep breathin’ in the memory
‘Til I’m coughin’ on the dark
[Verse 2]
Coat on the back door
Keys you forgot to take
I talk to your cold coffee
Till the dawn begins to break
[Chorus]
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Burned down to the filter last night
Now the room still tastes like you
But there’s no one in that light
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Faded in this flicker and spark
I keep breathin’ in the memory
‘Til I’m coughin’ on the dark
Glass on the table
Lip print and lipstick stain
Your chair still turned toward me
Like it’s waitin’ on your name
[Chorus]
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Burned down to the filter last night
Now the room still tastes like you
But there’s no one in that light
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Faded in this flicker and spark
I keep breathin’ in the memory
‘Til I’m coughin’ on the dark
[Verse 2]
Coat on the back door
Keys you forgot to take
I talk to your cold coffee
Till the dawn begins to break
[Chorus]
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Burned down to the filter last night
Now the room still tastes like you
But there’s no one in that light
You left your love in my ashtray
Baby
Faded in this flicker and spark
I keep breathin’ in the memory
‘Til I’m coughin’ on the dark
Musikstyle
Slow, late-night electric blues with a smoky male vocal in the low-mid range. Dirty tube-amp guitar, roomy drums with brushes, lazy walking bass. Verses stay hushed and intimate; chorus hits harder with widened guitars and a touch of organ swell. Subtle tape slap on the vocal, small-club reverb that puts the listener at a front table with a drink in hand., male vocals, blues
