[Verse 1]
It was my birthday that day
Looking back now
Getting older
Isn't such a bad thing
The charm of time can't be imitated
And aging with style is even harder
[Verse 2]
That rainy evening
I was at a cafe
A sweater at the start of winter
A black stray cat by the window
The unmanageable chill of a lonely night
That’s how time was slipping away
[Chorus]
Beauty and joy
They're all just greed in the end
It's just something I say
Because I'm afraid of living alone
Dreams filled with ice
Are slowly melting away
As the taste of whisky on the rocks lingers on my tongue
[Verse 3]
The gaze of an unfamiliar woman
Our eyes met, drawn to each other
Her wet, smiling eyes
Between the gaps of her disheveled clothes
My eyes followed her without me knowing
And I had to cool my heart with cold ice
[Chorus]
Beauty and joy
They're all just greed in the end
It's just something I say
Because I'm afraid of living alone
Dreams filled with ice
Are slowly melting away
As the taste of whisky on the rocks lingers on my tongue
[Chorus]
Beauty and joy
They're all just greed in the end
It's just something I say
Because I'm afraid of living alone
Dreams filled with ice
Are slowly melting away
As the taste of whisky on the rocks lingers on my tongue
