Velvet Voice Blues — Cigarette Smoke In The Mirror

Cigarette smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
I trace your name in the silence
Then watch it slowly die
Lipstick stain on the glass rim
Your chair still turned my way
Bartender wipes down the counter like
He can wipe you away
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
You fade and you come back clear
Every breath a little nearer
Every drag you disappear
I keep reaching through the shimmer
To the ghost of you and i
Cigarette
Smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
Jukebox hums something tender
Old tune fade at the seams
Your laugh swims up from the distance
Like it's poured into my drink
I talk low into the shadows
Pretend you still reply
My thumb smears one lonely letter
Till your name just turns to lines
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
You fade and you back clear
Every breath a little nearer
Every drag you disappear
I keep reaching through the shimmer
To the ghost of you and i
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
MAYBE LOVE BURNS OUT THE SEASON
MAYBE I bURN
OUT TOO FAST
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS blue gray daylight
In a room built out of glass
And singing
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
You fade
And you come back clear
Every breath a little nearer
Every drag you disappear
I keep reaching through the shimmer
To the ghost of you and i
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
I trace your name in the silence
Then watch it slowly die
Lipstick stain on the glass rim
Your chair still turned my way bartender
Wipes down the counter
Like he can wipe you away
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
You fade and you come back clear
Every breath a little nearer
Every drag you disappear
I keep reaching through the shimmer
To the ghost of you and i
Cigarette smoke in the mirror
Curling like your goodbye
