a dim lit haze where shadows play
moonlight whispers memories away
in smoky air dreams of yesteryears
linger
silent footsteps
lead hearts to home
this city's a ghost of love's refrain
lost the rhythm of the midnight train
beneath the stars secrets unfold,
embers of romantics fill the night's cold stranglehold
melodies float in darkened skies,
the dance of lonely hearts none too wise
lights flicker like distant dreams
conversations drift on silent streams
in corner booths, shadows dine
glasses toast to borrowed time
