Lyric

Smile for Sale

Tokyo Breeze

She paints her lips with cherry wine

Fixes curls and checks the line

The mirror smiles, but doesn’t ask

If tonight she wears a mask

Smile for sale, soft and wide

Polished grace she cannot hide

You see her laugh, you hear her cheer

But you don’t know what disappears

The saxophone knows when to bend

Like hearts that fake but never mend

The trumpet lifts but doesn’t pry

Just sings the truth she won’t let fly

Tips are good, the mood is light

She plays her part beneath the light

But when the music starts to fade

She counts the cost of what she gave

Smile for sale, behind the bar

Lit like gold, but kept afar

She trades her laugh for peace each night

And locks her real face out of sight

    Back to the Mirror

    Tokyo Breeze

She never stayed long. Not in cities, not in hearts.
These ten blues songs follow a wandering woman singer,
moving through bars, motels, and stages across the country.
where every night is new, but every feeling is familiar.
She sings not for fame, but for breath.
Not to be seen, but to stay real.
And in each trumpet sigh and saxophone hush,
she lives a little longer, and a little louder.
