Текст песни
A shadow in the corner of the bar
Wondering exactly where you are
The smoke is rising in a spiral ring
I’m waiting for the telephone to ring
A fedora hat and a trench coat collar
Betting my last and lonely dollar
The rain is beating on the neon sign
I’m drinking whiskey, you were drinking wine
The bartender is wiping down the glass
Watching the minutes and the hours pass
A mystery that has no easy clue
Why am I still so in love with you?
Through the cigarette smoke, I see your face
A memory that time cannot erase
Dangerous and beautiful, a fatal crime
Loving you is doing hard time
But I’d do it all again, my dear
Just to have you standing here
The door swings open, letting in the cold
A story that has often been retold
I look up hoping that I’ll see your eyes
But it’s just another stranger in disguise
I tip my hat and turn back to my drink
Trying very hard not to think
Through the cigarette smoke, I see your face
A memory that time cannot erase
Dangerous and beautiful, a fatal crime
Loving you is doing hard time
Fading out.
Just smoke and mirrors.
Blue mood.
