Noir Letters in the Smoke Front Cover

Lyric

Last Cigarette, Last Letter

Nocturne Echo

One last cigarette

Burning in your hand

One last letter

Folded with a band

Ash in the saucer

Red on your lips

You don't say forever

You just let it slip

The clock leans tired

Against the wall

I hear your heels

Like a distant call

If dawn comes early

Let it wait

I need this ending

To keep its shape

Last cigarette

Last letter

Last cigarette

Last letter

Hold me close

Then let it burn

One more page

And no return

Your name sits clean

At the top of the line

Ink like a bruise

On a satin night

I could beg you stay

But the room says leave

So I watch the smoke

And I let it grieve

The glass is empty

The tray is gold

Your silence lands

Where my hands should hold

If dawn comes early

Let it wait

I need this ending

To keep its shape

Last cigarette

Last letter

Last cigarette

Last letter

Hold me close

Then let it burn

One more page

And no return

Tenor on the corner

Sings what I can't say

You turn your coat

And face the day

I read your goodbye

By the lamp's last glow

Then you kiss my cheek

And let me go

Last cigarette

Last letter

Last cigarette

Last letter

Hold me close

Then let it burn

One more page

And no return

Last cigarette

Last letter

I watch you fade

But I remember better

    Nocturne Echo

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.
