LYRICS

Look at you, waiting,
Feet up, smoking,
Curling your lip to one side.
How many seconds
Until everything falls away
And I'm lost in the story of your eyes?

The cocktail we drink is all
Subtleties and salt,
Carelessly tossed away
Inside jokes and single malt,
And I wouldn't trade a drop of it
for money or love.
Just meet me in that little place
We claimed as our own.

Whisper one word
And I'll I laugh til I overflow
and melt like the ice in your glass.
Old grief and nuances
And pieces of secrets
Scatter themselves in the place where we land.

The cocktail we drink is all
Subtleties and salt,
Carelessly tossed away
Inside jokes and single malt,
And I wouldn't trade a drop of it
for money or love.
Just meet me in that little place
We claimed as our own.

Forgive me if that dangerous
Word tries to make its
Escape from my overfull mouth.
Just give it its own little
Space in the corner
To sleep while its delicate dreams are played out.

The cocktail we drink is all
Subtleties and salt,
Carelessly tossed away
Inside jokes and single malt,
And I wouldn't trade a drop of it
for money or love.
Just kiss me in that little place
You claimed as your own.

about

Jane Brooks Seattle, Washington

I'm new to music. The ukulele is my midlife crisis. I like things simple, plain, sloppy, except of course when I don't. I miss the friends I don't get to see anymore. Sometimes these songs are for them.
