Bourbon and Steam

[Intro]
[Verse]
The ice is melting slow
Inside this amber sea
The clock has nowhere to go
And neither do I, you see
(It is always two AM here)
The shadows whisper low
And bring the ghosts too near
[Chorus]
It is that station in the rain
With steam against the glass
The echo of a heavy train
Watching the moments pass
(I can still taste the salt air)
A love that left a stain
A ghost that is always there
[Verse]
Your coat was damp and grey
From a sky that would not clear
I had so much left to say
But I kept it tucked right here
(Right behind my collar bone)
You turned and walked away
And left me all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
The celesta rings a chime
Like rain on a tin roof
A tiny lapse in time
A bittersweet kind of proof
[Chorus]
It is that station in the rain
With steam against the glass
The echo of a heavy train
Watching the moments pass
(I can still taste the salt air)
A love that left a stain
A ghost that is always there
[Bridge]
(Wait, let the bass speak first)
[Solo]
Shoo-be-doo, ba-da-da-da
Zah-zuh-zay, doo-wap, sha-da
Bee-ba-dee, nuh-nuh-nuh
Low and slow, mmm-hmm
(Just a little breath between the notes)
[Verse]
The saxophone starts to sigh
A long and smoky moan
Underneath this neon sky
I am better off alone
(Or that is what I tell the glass)
I watch the world go by
And let the memory pass
[Post-Chorus]
Just one more drop of gold
Before they lock the door
A story never told
I do not need it anymore
(But I will dream it anyway)
The night is getting old
And turning into grey
[Chorus]
It is that station in the rain
With steam against the glass
The echo of a heavy train
Watching the moments pass
(I can still taste the salt air)
A love that left a stain
A ghost that is always there
[Breakdown]
No more steam
No more train
Just the bourbon
And the rain
(Keep it quiet now)
[Outro]
