0036 Velvet Grooves

Late room,

low lamp, coffee gone cold

I let the first bar roll

through my bones

You talk in small change,

I count in time Fingertips on the table,

tracing the rhyme The room got patience,

the beat stays wise I keep my cool face,

read between your eyes No need for a scene,

no need for a sign I move like smoke through a narrow

line A little bit sweet,

a little off-center Soft on the surface,

deep in the temper

Stay a little closer to the slow groove tonight

Let it sit easy,

let it land just right

I don't need thunder,

I just need the truth You and me leaning in,

loose in the groove

You laugh real low,

let the silence swing Gold in the pause of a simple thing

I heard your doubt in the heel of your shoe Still you

came back when the record cut through We keep it plain,

but the feeling stays rich Warm little spark with a smooth small

hitch I rap it gentle so the meaning can land No rush

in the wrist, no slip in the hand

(ooh) take your time with me (ooh) let the night breathe free

If it turns, let it turn real slow Stay a little closer

to the slow groove tonight

Let it sit easy,

let it land just right I don't need thunder,

I just need the truth You and me leaning in,

loose in the groove

Stay a little longer where the low lights move Heart on a

backbeat, loose in the groove

Loose in the groove

Mm, let it ride

Loose in the groove

All night
