Noir Letters in the Smoke Front Cover

Lyric

Cigarette Light by the Window

Nocturne Echo

A cigarette light by the window

Small gold coin in the dark

It trembles when I breathe your name

Then settles like a spark

Ash on the sill, slow falling

My hand around the cup

The room keeps your last footsteps

Like it never gave you up

And I watch it burn

Thin and slow

Like every word

We used to know

Small light, stay

Don't go

Small light, stay

In the glow

You're the only thing

That does not lie

By the window

Cigarette light

Your jacket on the chair still bends

Like someone just stood there

The phone won't ring, the floorboards won't

Confess what they saw there

I turn the shade a little more

Let midnight take the lead

The smoke writes pale little letters

That I can't quite read

And I watch it burn

Thin and slow

Like every word

We used to know

Small light, stay

Don't go

Small light, stay

In the glow

You're the only thing

That does not lie

By the window

Cigarette light

If you come back

Come quietly

Leave me the shape

Of your company

One last ember

One last sign

A little gold answer

In the blind

Small light, stay

Don't go

Small light, stay

In the glow

You're the only thing

That does not lie

By the window

Cigarette light

Small light, stay

Hold the night

Small light, stay

Till the dawn is white

I'll keep your shadow

Where it lands

By the window

In my hands

An English female vocal jazz album inspired by smoky midnight bars, old letters, and the shadows of the city. Slow four-beat grooves, bluesy colors, tenor saxophone, and intimate piano create a mature noir atmosphere.
