0027 Velvet Groove Whisper

(ahh) Late train air on a half-lit street

I keep

my cool in the window seat

Coffee gone cold but I still sip slow Your name rolls round

where the low keys glow

I talk to the glass like it might talk back

Little bit of grace in a worn-out crack You said keep time

and I learned that feel

Hands on the wheel but the hurt stays real I move through

the dark with a laid-back sway Holding my fire till the break

of day

If you lean in close,

I can tell the truth

I was staying strong just to get to you

One more bar and the room turns gold Stay a little longer

in the soft low light

We can let the record spin all night No big promises,

no grand design Just your hand near mine,

your hand near mine Stay a little longer,

let the hard day slide When the organ hums,

I'm right by your side

Easy in the moment,

sweet and unrefined Just your hand near mine,

your hand near mine You laugh real low and it smooths the

room

Like a small kind mercy in a little bloom I don't need

a headline, I don't need a sign Just a steady look and

a decent line

We got small talk cut with a deeper tone Two tired hearts

making one calm zone If the night runs long,

let it take its time I'ma ride this pocket till the stars

unwind I was all sharp corners You were a slower frame Now

the air sits easier When you say my name

Stay a little longer in the soft low light

We can let the record spin all night No big promises,

no grand design Just your hand near mine,

your hand near mine

Stay a little longer,

let the hard day slide When the organ hums,

I'm right by your side Easy in the moment,

sweet and unrefined Just your hand near mine,

your hand near mine (ooh)

Hand near mine

Hand near mine
