City Shadows

[Verse] Neon lights in a drizzle, reflections on the street, Footsteps echoing softly, in the midnight heat. Lovers' whispers in alleys, shadows that intertwine, In a city of dreams, where heartaches combine. [Verse 2] Smoke curls from a cigarette, jazz from a corner bar, Saxophone's sultry moan, wrapping round like a scar. Downbeat rhythms playing, in the depths of our minds, In this noir fantasia, where love’s rare to find. [Chorus] In the city shadows, where the lonely hearts meet, Love’s a fleeting whisper, a bittersweet retreat. Through the fog and rain, under street lamps’ glow, In this jazz noir tale, where true feelings seldom show. [Verse 3] Dames in crimson lipstick, and men in trench coats fine, Their secret rendezvous, beneath moon’s faint shine. Eyes meet with a question, lives that softly collide, A dance in the darkness, where secrets reside. [Bridge] Smooth sax riffs resound, through the labyrinth of night, Painting scenes of tension, in the pale city light. In smoky rooms we ponder, with glasses of despair, In this jazz-scape noir, with emotions laid bare. [Chorus] In the city shadows, where the lonely hearts meet, Love’s a fleeting whisper, a bittersweet retreat. Through the fog and rain, under street lamps’ glow, In this jazz noir tale, where true feelings seldom show.
