0039 Velvet Scratch Serenade

Mm, the room is low and warm

I let the evening lean into the chord

Table for two, but I came alone Dust on the sleeve of

a favorite song Kick drum walking like a late-night train I talk

to the glass, let it say my name Soft little truth in

the curve of the bar I came this far just to feel

where you are

Hold that note in the

back of the blue

I got a line and it leads to you

Slow flame,

small smile, nothing to prove

Stay a little longer in the low-lit groove

Let the Wurly tell us what the heart won't do

I don't need thunder,

I just need the truth

Stay a little longer,

let me sway with you

I keep it plain,

no glitter on the frame Just a clean backbeat and a name

I can't shake Right hand on the table,

left hand on time Every little memory lands right on the line

I give you

the facts with a velvet tone

Cool on the surface,

but I'm not stone

Ahh,

if you walk in now

I won't look away

Ahh,

let the whole room spin

I'll still stay

Stay a little longer in the low-lit groove

Let the Wurly tell us what the heart won't do

I don't need thunder,

I just need the truth

Stay a little longer,

let me sway with you

Mm,

stay a little longer

Just long enough to move
