Napkin Notes in D Minor

[Intro]
[Verse]
Boston streets are slick and grey
Chasing ghosts along the bay
Brushed drums on the pavement beat
Echoes of our weary feet
The Rhodes is humming low and sweet
I watch the fog begin to sway
[Pre-Chorus]
Steam rises from the iron grates
Testing all our heavy fates
Shadows dance upon the wall
Waiting for the rain to fall
I still answer to your call
Behind these rusted harbor gates
[Chorus]
Blue notes in the pouring rain
Sipping on a ghost of pain
Unspoken words we couldn't say
Just a napkin tucked away
In D minor, we decay
Nothing left here to explain
[Post-Chorus]
Da-ba-da, the sax is weeping
Secrets that we're still keeping
Softly creeping
While the city is sleeping
[Verse]
The neon flickers 'Open' late
I walk inside to meet my fate
A crumpled scrap of paper lies
Reflecting in my heavy eyes
Seven digits, no goodbyes
Just the gin to compensate
[Pre-Chorus]
Windowpanes are clouded white
In the middle of the night
Saxophone leaks through the door
I don't go there anymore
Feet are heavy on the floor
Searching for a flicker of light
[Chorus]
Blue notes in the pouring rain
Sipping on a ghost of pain
Unspoken words we couldn't say
Just a napkin tucked away
In D minor, we decay
Nothing left here to explain
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Upright bass begins to thrum
Like a heart that's feeling numb
Hollow guitar plays the lead
Every chord begins to bleed
Knowing what we truly need
Is the courage to become
Something more than just a memory
Fading out in minor key
[Chorus]
Blue notes in the pouring rain
Sipping on a ghost of pain
Unspoken words we couldn't say
Just a napkin tucked away
In D minor, we decay
Nothing left here to explain
[Post-Chorus]
Da-ba-da, the sax is weeping
Secrets that we're still keeping
Softly creeping
While the city is sleeping
[Outro]
