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.
