Walking Away From Something

Lamp Caught the Last Note

Saxophone Through a Cracked Window

Followed the Sound to a Doorway

Curtain Drawn, Gentle Applause

Brandy Glass, Borrowed Comfort

Coffee Steam Met Cigarette Trail

Dim Light Softened the Evening

Comfort in an Unfamiliar City

Old Piano, New Appreciation

Trumpet Case Resting by the Door

Booth in the Corner, Borrowed Stories

Borrowed Matches, Kept the Spark

Foggy Pier, Distant Horn

Saxophonist Nodded, Kept Playing

Basement Club, Soft Light

Lamplight Flickered, Then Held

Tugged the Collar Up, Stayed Anyway

Worn Piano Bench, Familiar Weight

Brass Echoing Off Brick Walls

Held the Door for the Band

Brass Filled the Empty Room

Stumbled Onto the Right Bar

Brought an Umbrella, Stayed for Jazz

Bar Felt Like Somewhere Known

Recognised the Tune From Childhood

Smoke Drifting Toward the Fan

Coat Rack Full, Bar Half Empty

Bar That Knew My Order

Worn Seats, Still Loved
