0040 Velvet Groove Whisper

(ooh) Late room, low lamp,

I settle in

Mmm,

let the groove begin

I slide in easy with a half-smile grin Dust on the needle

and the night rolls in My thoughts move sideways on a lazy

swing You lean in close like you can hear me think

No need to rush it,

let the bar line bend We talk in small clues,

let the phrases mend Hands on the table,

heartbeat keeping time I paint the air soft and you answer mine

Stay right here

in the pocket with me

Small fire, slow burn,

easy to read

When the room turns warm,

I breathe your name

Ride that low flame,

keep it steady My heart stays cool but my touch is ready

Slow groove, all night,

don't let it break You move one inch and the whole room

sways Ride that low flame,

keep it steady Hold me

in the line where the sweet chords play No big words,

just time well spent

You and me in the velvet moment

You trace a circle on the edge of the glass I watch

the seconds loosen up and pass A little boldness in the way

you laugh A little ache that makes the good stuff last I

tell the truth in pieces,

never loud You catch the meaning hiding in the crowd The organ

answers with a midnight hue Every quiet bar keeps bringing me to

you (ooh)

If I fall, let it be this way

Gentle and low, no need to explain

(ahh) We got a little gold in the grain

Ride that low flame,

keep it steady

My heart stays cool but my touch is ready

Slow groove, all night,

don't let it break You move one inch and the whole room

sways Ride that low flame,

keep it steady Hold me in the line where the sweet chords

play No

big words, just time well spent You and me

in the velvet

moment Stay in that low flame

Stay in that slow sway

(ooh) Mmm
