The Night Chicago Forgot His Name But Not His Sound lyrics

Your scent is still burning On the tips of my fingers In the cellar of my soul The echo of your voice lingers Loving you was like walking toward a fire In the pitch-black night I guess my heart was just waiting To melt in your hands so cold and tight The smoke rising from my lungs Is coming straight from my soul No matter what street I turn Your ghost is taking its tall I traded my whole life For just one sip of your love's wine I didn't just love you, baby I worshipped you like a shrine Your eyes are the eerie science Before the storm begins to howl All you left me is this hollow Loneliness, dark and foul Your scent is trapped in the pillow Stealing my breath away Time is frozen solid Since the moment you walked away I'm down on my bending knees My pride is nothing but dirt Your love was a forest and I'm just a leaf Drifting in the hurt Every time I speak your name, my tongue burns And the air gets thin The city is closing in and the world is sliding From under my skin Lord, I wish I could rip this heart out And throw it to the wind I wish I never seen a morning Where your face didn't begin But every note, every vibration Every trembling string says your name This wound won't ever close It's an eternal bleeding flame Kill the lights now My eyes have grown used to the dark My pure love got all lost in the shadows Of your hollow spark Only your memory is burning And my heart is lost in the haze Lost in the haze
