Midnight in Montmartre
[Verse 1] The café lights hum a lazy tune, As my cigarette burns holes in the moon. You left your scarf ‘round my lonely glass— Now the wine tastes of shadows and past. [Verse 2] The saxophone weeps in D-flat minor, A language we spoke, but now you ignore. Our dance was a flicker, brief as a match, Left with the scent of your rain-kissed patchouli... [Bridge] (Instrumental Piano Solo) [Imagine: Walking bassline, brushed snare, and a trumpet sighing through the smoke.] [Outro] So I’ll sit where the ivy climbs the wall, And let the night rewrite it all. Montmartre keeps our secrets well— Folded in jazz… and the ache of farewell. Genre: Classic Jazz Ballad © Lydia Psaradelli 202 5 This content is protected by copyright.
