0024 Whispered Groove

(ooh) Mm,

slow turn, soft flame I lean in close with a low-lit grin

Coffee on the keys and the room spins slow Hammond in the

back like a warm front porch Wurly drops gold in a lazy

roll I don't need thunder,

just a steady hand Kick and snare tucked in,

clean and dry I say what I mean in a tender tone

Let the little scratches drift on by

Stay right here in the pocket with me

Move that weight like a river at night

Easy now, let it ride,

let it breathe Soft fire,

small smile, holding tight

Slow groove, hold me in the middle

Warm room, hearts talking real low Your name lands sweet on the

Wurly We don't rush where the good feelings go

Slow groove, keep it little,

keep it honest Soft light on the words we know

I fall into the pocket beside you

And the whole night moves real slow

Table by the speaker,

hands round a cup You laugh through your teeth and the snare

sits back Bass walks easy,

never crowding the air Needle-mark scratches make a clean thin track I

trace each bar with a careful mouth No big scene,

just a velvet frame

Every word fits close to the drum And your eyes keep time

when you say my name

I came for the quiet in your cadence For the way the

room bends around one chord

For the little truth in a softened voice For the grace in

wanting nothing more (ooh)

Nothing more Slow groove,

hold me in the middle

Warm room, hearts talking real low Your name lands sweet on the

Wurly We don't rush where the good feelings go

Slow groove, keep it little,

keep it honest Soft light on the words we know

I fall into the pocket beside you

And the whole night moves real slow

Real slow

Stay in the groove (ooh)

Real slow
