[Verse 1] In a room without moonlight, I sit by the frame Tracing the silence, whispering your name The clock ticks in rhythm, a cold lullaby While shadows are dancing where dreams used to lie [Verse 2] I sip on my sorrow, a bittersweet wine Recalling the laughter that once sounded mine Your coat’s by the doorway, untouched by the breeze And the chill in my chest won’t let me breathe with ease [Chorus] Why’d you leave me here, with jazz on the radio? A record keeps turning, but time won’t let me go The notes fall like teardrops, blue and unkind And I’m just a woman, with you on my mind [Verse 3] Streetlamps are blinking like stars in retreat The night’s playing tricks with the sound of your feet But it’s only the echo of heartbeats alone In a house full of memories, colder than stone [Bridge] Maybe I asked for a love too divine Maybe you left with the end in your line But if you should wander, if you ever look back— This door will remain just a whisper from black [Chorus – Reprise] Why’d you leave me here, with jazz on the radio? The melody’s fading, but pain only grows Each note is a promise I can’t leave behind Still just a woman… with you on my mind [Outro] In a room without moonlight, the night never ends Just me and my sorrow, old lovers, old friends
