Monte Carlo Mist

[Intro]
[Verse]
The ice has melted in my glass
The salt is crusting on the rim
Another lonely hour will pass
The harbor lights are growing dim
I hear the fog horn in the bay
A warning from the deep
I traded all your love away
For promises I couldn't keep
[Pre-Chorus]
My fingers trace the heavy coat
A cold companion in the dark
The silver lining of a note
A pistol waiting for its mark
[Chorus]
The lighthouse cuts the Monte Carlo mist
To find the ghost of everything we missed
I took the fire, left you cold
For diamonds that I couldn't hold
Now the tide is coming in
Let the final game begin
[Post-Chorus]
Was it worth the price?
Standing on the ice
Waiting for the undertow
In the dark below
[Break]
[Verse]
I hear a footstep on the stone
The shadows stretch across the dock
I stand alone
And listen to the ticking clock
The water laps against the pier
Like secrets whispered in the night
You are drawing near
Beyond the reach of yellow light
[Pre-Chorus]
The metal presses on my thigh
A heavy safety to release
I look up at the foggy sky
And pray tonight will bring us peace
[Chorus]
The lighthouse cuts the Monte Carlo mist
To find the ghost of everything we missed
I took the fire, left you cold
For diamonds that I couldn't hold
Now the tide is coming in
Let the final game begin
[Bridge]
You were my partner in the crime
Before I sold you to the law
I've regretted it for all this time
And every ghost I ever saw
Now shoot me if you must
Turn my silver into dust
[Chorus]
The lighthouse cuts the Monte Carlo mist
To find the ghost of everything we missed
I took the fire, left you cold
For diamonds that I couldn't hold
Now the tide is coming in
Let the final game begin
[Outro]
