about

inspired by a true story. My roommate in Los Angeles, Ali Mousavi, & I used to have competitions to see who could make the best martini... When I wrote this song, I needed a topic. I asked Ali. His answer was a glass of Martini, shaken, not stirred... of course. So this is a love song to a glass of Martini...

lyrics

Cold and light, she keeps me high
she’s not too wet and not too dry
she says, “I will wait for you
when no one else will…”
She says, “I will comfort you
like no one else will… Tonight.”

Long stemmed lady with her olive eyes,
condensation hides her tempting smile,
she says, “tonight, I am what you make me,
I will let you dream the dreams
you want to see… Or maybe forget.”

Martini Nights,
I remember as a haze your sweet caresses,
Martini Nights,
I remember in a daze your bitter kisses…

I take you in, you make me spin,
sweet and bitter you begin
to warm my gut and burn my skin,
I begin to lose my sight…
Inside out you get me high,
a loosened mind could make words fly,
in the haze, your hand in mine,
you and I will dance tonight…

Alone at the end of a night now old,
my paper filled with scribbled notes
and you sit empty
at the edge of my keys,
my throat still cold, I’m begging,
Sweetheart, please…Come back tomorrow.

Martini Nights,
I remember as a haze your sweet caresses,
Martini Nights,
I remember in a daze your bitter kisses…
