[Intro]
Midnight signals fade to black
Like your perfume leaving tracks
Through the smoke-filled cabaret
Where we used to play
[Verse 1]
Three AM, your message reads "delivered"
But baby, nothing's getting through
Each note I play just makes me shiver
While some other cat's with you
Dancing with my rival now
Breaking every sacred vow
[Chorus]
Static on the telephone line
Your voice is crackling away with time
What's the frequency of goodbye?
When did our sweet song die?
Oh Sophie, Sophie Delacroix
You played me like a broken toy
[Verse 2]
Remember how we'd swing till dawn
Now all those golden days are gone
Your lipstick stains on microphones
Your whispers through these saxophones
But darling, now you're running free
With that big band across the sea
[Bridge]
The stage lights dim, the curtain falls
Your shadow dances on these walls
Every note's a memory
Of what we used to be
[Chorus]
Static on the telephone line
Your voice is crackling away with time
What's the frequency of goodbye?
When did our sweet song die?
Oh Sophie, Sophie Delacroix
You played me like a broken toy
[Outro]
The band plays on, but something's wrong
These jazz notes taste like bourbon, strong
Like messages we left unsent
Like promises that came and went
Sophie... Sophie...
