[Intro]
Shadows dance on satin sheets
In smoke-filled rooms where secrets keep
[Verse 1]
Late night jazz and cheap champagne
Your lipstick stains, they still remain
On manuscript pages, notes we wrote
While passion burned and music flowed
You played it cool, I played the fool
Breaking every golden rule
[Chorus]
In these satin shadows
Where we used to dance
Your ghost still follows
Our last romance
The band plays on
Though you're long gone
In these satin shadows tonight
[Verse 2]
Behind the stage, between the bars
Trading kisses, counting stars
Your saxophone against my soul
Two artists losing all control
But darling now the tune has changed
These empty halls feel mighty strange
[Bridge]
The spotlight dims
The curtain falls
Your perfume lingers in these halls
Damn these memories that won't let go
Of our midnight show
[Verse 3]
Every note I write these days
Echoes how you walked away
Left me with these melodies
And bitter-sweet philosophies
The critics praise this pain of mine
Not knowing you're between each line
[Chorus]
In these satin shadows
Where we used to dance
Your ghost still follows
Our last romance
The band plays on
Though you're long gone
In these satin shadows tonight
[Outro]
The night is deep, the bourbon's neat
And baby, ain't this jazz so sweet?
But in these satin shadows, I confess
I'm just another fool in evening dress
