No surprise that you stand in front of me
Green smoke floating across your face
The notches on my table read one, two, and three
And I forget what I drew them for
The times you touched my heart
The times you said it was over
Or maybe one notch for every false start
I forget what day it is today
Three times the idiot played our song?
In this empty lounge somewhere
Before you floated along
And the emptiness gasps for breath
One notch for every girl
Or one for every dozen
The smoke ready to swirl
We long stopped keeping count
Tears swell in my eyes
Yet ,I could not be happier
One day I will die a bitter man
Till then, I draw another notch
Far away this sip takes me
To places that quickly fade away
Love, lust and four notches on a table
Absinthe, I am done for the day
