[Verse] The neon bleeds on windowpanes A city washed in silver rain Each footstep echoes in the dark A lonely, momentary spark [Pre-Chorus] This city's pulse, a strange design It pulls a thread from what was mine A ghost of you, a faded smile Just for a little while [Chorus] Oh, this city holds a ghost of you In every shade of midnight blue A half-forgotten melody For what we were, and ceased to be [Verse] The saxophone is crying low A story only shadows know The piano man repeats his theme Lost inside a waking dream [Pre-Chorus] This city's pulse, a strange design It pulls a thread from what was mine A ghost of you, a faded smile Just for a little while [Chorus] Oh, this city holds a ghost of you In every shade of midnight blue A half-forgotten melody For what we were, and ceased to be [Bridge] The smoke may curl, the bourbon burns A lesson that the heart unlearns This photograph begins to fade But not the promise that we made [Chorus] Oh, this city holds a ghost of you In every shade of midnight blue A half-forgotten melody For what we were, and ceased to be [Outro] (Instrumental)
