[Verse 1]
Dim light dancing on the table,
Smoke curls like a secret rhyme,
I taste the ashes of my sorrow,
And sip the memory with the wine.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every drag, a fleeting moment,
Every sip, a bitter sign,
I keep losing myself slowly,
In this glass, and in this line.
[Chorus]
With a cigarette and a glass of wine,
I drown the ghost of you tonight,
Your shadow lingers, but you’re not mine,
So I drink to forget what once felt right.
[Verse 2]
Jazz notes whisper through the silence,
The saxophone just bleeds my pain,
I try to laugh, but it’s just fragments,
Like lipstick stains that still remain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every puff, a broken promise,
Every drop, a sweet decline,
I keep chasing old illusions,
Down this bottle, down this line.
[Chorus]
With a cigarette and a glass of wine,
I drown the ghost of you tonight,
Your shadow lingers, but you’re not mine,
So I drink to forget what once felt right.
[Bridge - Saxophone Solo / Vocal Ad-lib]
Oh, the night won’t heal me,
But it keeps me company…
And maybe when the dawn arrives,
I’ll leave your ghost behind.
[Final Chorus]
With a cigarette and a glass of wine,
I toast the love that said goodbye,
Your name still burns, but I’ll be fine,
In smoke and red, the past runs dry.
[Outro – Soft Piano + Saxophone]
Just a cigarette… and a glass of wine…
One last sip… and you’re out of time.
