The Ghost of You (Noir Jazz Single)

Lyrics:

"The night hangs heavy on my shoulders,
like an old coat I should’ve thrown away.
I sit here with the ashes of our memories,
scattered on the table like a debt I never paid.
Your shadow sits across from me,
quiet as the secrets we never told.
And every time I breathe, I swear I feel you—
soft as winter, sharp as cold.

I raise my glass to the silence,
to the love I couldn’t save.
There’s a chill in this room tonight,
and it whispers your name.

But all I have… is the ghost of you,
wrapped around this wounded heart.
The ghost of you,
living where the memories start.
And no matter how the night moves on,
or how the city fades from view—
I’m still dancing with the ghost,
the ghost of you.

The record spins its lonely circle,
same as my thoughts since you went away.
The saxophone cries in the corner,
and God… it sounds like you trying to stay.
I reach into the empty space beside me,
hoping your warmth might still be there—
but all I touch is the hollow truth
of how love can disappear in the air.

Cause all I have… is the ghost of you,
drifting through this smoke-filled room.
The ghost of you,
holding on while I come undone.
And though the night keeps moving slow,
and dawn is breaking through—
I’m still stranded here alone…
with the ghost of you.

Maybe some loves burn too bright
to live beyond their flame.
Maybe some hearts crack too deep
to ever feel the same.
I tried to outrun your memory,
but it kept pace with every mile—
and every time I turned around,
it wore your face… and your smile.

Now the world outside is waking,
but I’m still caught in yesterday.
Tracing the outline of the life we dreamed,
in the dust where those dreams lay.
If time is meant for healing,
then time has been unkind—
because every hour I survive without you
is another bruise upon my mind.

So all I have… is the ghost of you,
holding me through nights like these.
The ghost of you,
moving softly in the breeze.
And when my tired heart finally rests,
when this lonely night is through—
I’ll still be reaching in the dark
for the ghost…
the ghost of you"
