Noir Letters in the Smoke Front Cover

Lyric

Lipstick Promise

Nocturne Echo

There's a mark on the glass

By the ashtray's ring

Your coat still hangs

Like a half-spoken thing

A crimson crescent

On my coffee cup

You said be right back

Then the dawn came up

I traced that line

With my thumb last night

It stayed so long

It almost felt like life

Lipstick promise

On your breath

Lipstick promise

Left for death

Stay too long

Then slip away

Lipstick promise

Still on me today

Your train card's folded

In my book of matches

One red heel print

By the curtain lashes

The room kept your shape

In the window's edge

Even the rain

Couldn't wash that pledge

I heard your name

In the ice on the side

I turned my face

But the room just lied

Lipstick promise

On your breath

Lipstick promise

Left for death

Stay too long

Then slip away

Lipstick promise

Still on me today

Now the moon looks pale

In the old brass tray

I learned your love

Was a shade of gray

Still I keep that stain

Like a secret hymn

One small red line

Where you were, then dim

Lipstick promise

On your breath

Lipstick promise

Left for death

Stay too long

Then slip away

Lipstick promise

Still on me today
