Chasing Bailey's Glow

{subtle vinyl static, organic Rhodes piano chord progression,

low-key kick drum} Yeah,

yeah Just a story 'bout a girl I know Let's go {smooth

jazz-infused hip-hop instrumentation}

Saw her walking down on 5th Street with her hair down She's

got a smile that can quiet down a whole crowd Her name

is Bailey, got me losing my direction Every word she speaks is

like a musical connection Yeah,

she's got that spark,

never trying too hard Reading paperbacks sitting out in the yard

{MPC 2000 swing drum pattern,

mellow upright bass} Oh Bailey,

you've been running through my mind A golden light that is so

hard to find Yeah,

Bailey, won't you stay another day?

(stay another day) {soaring neo-soul background vocals,

jazzy electric guitar arpeggios} She likes her coffee black and her music

on a record With a laugh so sweet,

got me double-checking records I try to play it cool but my

heart is skipping beats When Bailey walks past on these rainy autumn

streets

(yeah, it's true) {subtle sax counter-melody,

jazzy snare clicks} And I

don't want to rush it,

take our time

Just hoping one day I

can call you mine

(one day,

yeah) {drums drop out,

Rhodes piano and subtle acoustic guitar only}

Oh Bailey, you've been running through my mind A golden light that

is so hard to find Yeah,

Bailey,

won't you stay another day?

(stay another day, yeah) {full band return,

high energy, soaring vocals}

Just Bailey on my mind

Yeah,

just her (humm)

{music gradually fades, vinyl static,

final Rhodes chord rings

out}
