SHADOWS IN THE CAFÉ

(Verse 1)
The rain keeps falling, the piano plays low
Ice cubes are melting as the hours move slow
I look for your face in the dim neon light
Lost in the silence of a lonely night
(Verse 2)
The smoke from my cigarette shapes your sweet grace
The bartender's cleaning, ready to leave this place
But your memory lingers, it won't let me be
In this midnight blue world where there's no you and me
(Chorus)
It’s the jazz of the lonely, a song in my heart
A dark blue refrain that tears me apart
I try to forget you, to let it all go
But loving you, darling, is all that I know
(Verse 3)
The trumpet is crying a tune I know well
The shadows are cast by a heartbreak spell
I thought time would heal me and wash you away
But the mirror just shows me the price I must pay
(Bridge)
And the bass lines keep pulling me down to the floor
While the world spins around as I watch the front door
Tomorrow is coming, a new day will start
But tonight I'm just living with a broken heart
(Chorus)
It’s the jazz of the lonely, a song in my heart
A dark blue refrain that tears me apart
I try to forget you, to let it all go
But loving you, darling, is all that I know
(Outro)
The piano fades out...
The last note hangs high...
And here I am waiting...
For the morning sky.
Dreaming of you in the shadow’s café.
Thinking of you in the shadow’s café.
