0154 Whispered Velvet Groove

(ooh) Slow on the corner of a backbeat night

I keep it low when the room gets loud Heel on the

floor and my head in the clouds Telecaster drawing little lines through

the air Warm keys turning every glance into a dare I talk

my way through the space between beats Soft little truths in the

curve of the street Nothing to prove,

just a lean and a sway Let the night move,

let it carry the day

If you lean in close,

I can let it land

A small bright spark in the palm of your hand

We do not rush,

we just ride that line

Stay with the groove a little longer

Hold me in the pocket,

soft and steady Sweet on the one and the two,

getting stronger You and I

are ready, ready Stay with the groove a little longer

Lay your heart easy,

cool and steady

Sweet on the one and the two,

getting stronger You and I

are ready, ready

Window half down and the air feels kind Loose in the shoulders,

clear in the mind A phrase from the organ rolls under my

name You give me a smile and it softens the frame I

answer in rhythm, not trying too hard A half-hidden joke and a

low dealt card We circle the feeling,

we let it arrive No need for a fire when the ember

is alive

(ahh) Keep it right there where the heart sits still

(ooh) Under that hush,

I can feel the thrill Take one breath,

let the whole room bend

Stay with the groove a little longer

Hold me in the pocket,

soft and steady Sweet on the one and the two,

getting stronger You and I are ready,

ready Stay with the groove a little longer Lay your heart easy,

cool and steady Sweet on the one and the two,

getting stronger You and I

are ready, ready

Ready, ready Stay a little longer (ooh)
