Under the lamp shade where Rules of the night is honored I stand alone in the street light 3 Kilometers away from your home Before the brittle sky pour Before the sun exposes my shadow. I still walk the route you take Like the wedding carpet we promised Came up for a while But already faded with the fog. Cicadas are still sleeping Amidst the noise of the day I still stay quiet and unbothered Then drink the night away. I forgot how I ended up in this alley Where everything is but you A narrow pathway of blue. The whiskey I drink alone Dark and strong, a hint of apple And the sweetness of caramel Was like a trail I follow Captures the alluring cold night I had to lose you.
