Free Zinc and Clay French Noir Downtempo Song

Song Lyrics

[Intro]
(Left the hills behind)
(Train ran north)

[Verse 1]
Zinc counter cold beneath my wrist
Third cigarette in a saucer
Damp coat heavy on the wooden chair
I traded limestone hills for grey slate roofs
Lavender scent replaced by turpentine
Paint drying slow on canvas
The train ticket tucked in my pocket
Dusted with red clay from home

[Sample Hook]
(Paris takes what you offer)
(Leaves you the scraps)

[Verse 2]
Rusted latch on the attic window
Rain hits the glass like small stones
Back south the olives drop in quiet grass
Here everybody shouts over accordion notes
I sold the family watch for blue paint
Standing in line for bread
Looking at the river
Thick oil slick floating past

[Bridge]
(Was it worth the trade)
(Dust for noise)
Dry clay under nails
Cold tea on the ledger

[Outro]
Cobblestones slick with frost
Train leaves at six
(Train leaves at six)
I stay
