0403 Velvet Groove

(ahhhh) Late room, low lamp,

I let the night breathe

I take it slow when the whole room leans Hands on the

table, tracing small scenes Coffee gone cold but the mood stays warm

A little worn edge has its own kind of charm I talk

in a line that can ride the beat Soft on the tongue

but the timing is neat You move like a thought that I

almost knew Nothing too loud,

just enough coming through

Stay in the pocket with me

Let it roll easy and deep

No need to rush what we mean

We got a good kind of lean

Keep it low, keep it right here

Soft enough to pull me near

Slow and groovy, sweet and clear We can make a small world

here Keep it low,

keep it right here

Hold that look and let it steer

Easy rhythm in my ear We can make a small world here

You say my name like a half-lit sign I answer back with

a crooked smile The floor has space and the air sits loose

Every little pause keeps the feeling true I give a short line,

then a higher tone A faded gold note when I sing alone

No grand display, no dramatic spin Just a steady little fire under

skin

(ooh) take

your time (ooh) read my mind I rise,

then fall into the line You lean in close and I feel

fine

Keep it low, keep it right here

Soft enough to pull me near

Slow and groovy, sweet and clear We can make a small world

here

Keep it low, keep it right here

Hold that look and let it steer Easy rhythm in my ear

We can make a small world here

Stay a little longer

In this mellow turn

I can feel the room glow

And the

low flame burn
