Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Corner booth, same old view Shadows painted in a darker hue The waiter knows my name The coffee tastes the same But the air feels cold Like a story told Tracing circles in the wood Like I knew I would [Pre-Chorus] I see the rings you made Before the colors started to fade The porcelain is chipped and worn Since the day that love was torn I'm waiting for the sound Of a heart that's finally found [Chorus] It was a winter kind of grace In this quiet, dusty place You played a melody so sweet To the rhythm of the street Now the flugelhorn sighs As the midnight slowly dies Shoo-be-doo, the night is long Like a half-forgotten song [Post-Chorus] Shoo-be-doo, the night is long Like a half-forgotten song [Verse] Frosted glass on the pane Hiding all of the rain You left a folded page On our tiny stage Ink was barely dry Under a charcoal sky A scarf of faded silk White as spilled-out milk [Pre-Chorus] It smells of smoke and pine And a love that wasn't mine The Rhodes begins to weep While the city is asleep I'm tracing every line Trying to make you mine [Chorus] It was a winter kind of grace In this quiet, dusty place You played a melody so sweet To the rhythm of the street Now the flugelhorn sighs As the midnight slowly dies Shoo-be-doo, the night is long Like a half-forgotten song [Bridge] Train tracks hum a lonely tune Underneath a paper moon You’re a traveler of the keys Drifting on the winter breeze I'm the regular who stays Counting all the lonely days Maybe you are playing now In a different town somehow [Break] [Verse] The upright bass begins to walk Too late for us to talk I wrap the silk around my neck To keep my heart in check The staff paper is yellowed now I’ll forget you, I don’t know how Just one more cup of tea For the ghost of you and me [Chorus] It was a winter kind of grace In this quiet, dusty place You played a melody so sweet To the rhythm of the street Now the flugelhorn sighs As the midnight slowly dies Shoo-be-doo, the night is long Like a half-forgotten song [Post-Chorus] Shoo-be-doo, the night is long Like a half-forgotten song [Outro]
