Lyric

Winter wind bites through the empty street

I’m dragging my shadows with weary feet

Pushed the door open to a hideaway bar

Trying to run from the ghost that you are

"That black panther relief, it looks like you

" You said with a smile, and I believed it too

"Drink the aroma, don’t just sip the gold"

The scent of the brandy is all that I hold

Rusted scars, they start to sting

To this restless heart, no sleep will bring

Smoldering fire, the secrets I keep

'Cause you’re still here, in my half-sleep

Blues-rock spinning on a broken soul

"This is my spirit," you said, losing control

Shy little laughter, a beautiful sound

Now it’s just echoes I’ve lost and I’ve found

Swaying in-between the day and the night

A thirsty melody in the dim-lit light

Sorrow and wonder, they dance in the air

I reach for your hand but you’re never there

Rusted scars, they start to sting

To this restless heart, no sleep will bring

Smoldering fire, the secrets I keep

'Cause you’re still here, in my half-sleep

All I ever wanted was a moment of peace

A truth in the madness, a sweet release

Etched in reality, never a lie

But the wind of the city just passes me by

Rusted scars, they start to sting

To this restless heart, no sleep will bring

Smoldering fire, the secrets I keep

'Cause you’re still here, in my half-sleep
