Lyrics

"

Smear my lips with whiskey

Put on some Coltrane

I'll close my eyes if I need to

remember what used to be your name

 

Coltrane was a friend of yours -

you say so

And close your eyes as jazz flies

'Cross the room and out the window

 

Smear my lips with whiskey

so my kiss will taste the same

You can close your eyes if you need to

try and remember - what's my name?

 

Coltrane was a friend of yours -

you say so

And close your eyes as jazz flies

'Cross the room and out the window

 

What's funny is, you thought I didn't know

how to play along

It's funny - aren't you laughing?

 

Smear my lips with whiskey

so my kiss will taste the same

You can close your eyes if you need to

there's no need to say my name

 

Coltrane was a friend of yours -

you say so

And close your eyes as jazz flies

'Cross the room and out the window

Kinda very fascinating song or a "story-song" that's written in such beautiful and rhythmic poetic form, beautifully. Loved the chorus:

"Smear my lips with whiskey
so my kiss will taste the same
You can close your eyes if you need to
there's no need to say my name... "

Lovely. Very romantic, thoughtful & so admirable. Would be looking forward to reading you stuffs!
