Midnight Velvet

Lyrics

(Intro: A slow, hypnotic acoustic guitar plucking, followed by a distant, melancholic trumpet...)[Male Vocal] (Deep, spoken-word style, casual and smoky)The neon signs were fading, the streets were getting cold,I had a pocket full of secrets that I’ve never told.You stood there under the streetlamp, a shadow in the rain,Offering a cure for a long-forgotten pain...[Female Vocal] (Sweet, smooth, and enchanting)Step inside the parlor, wash the dust from your coat,I’ve got a vintage bottle and a melody I wrote.The world outside is heavy, but here the air is sweet,Let the velvet nighttime wrap around our feet...[Chorus - Duet](Female) Oh, how beautiful, the way the shadows fall...(Male) I can hear the ghosts dancing down the hall.(Female) Drink the midnight velvet, let the music play,(Together) And we will worry about tomorrow... tomorrow or another day.[Male Vocal] (Calm, slightly weary)Your words taste like wild honey, your eyes look like a trap,But I'm too tired to care now, I'll put my head upon your lap.The clock is ticking slower, the room begins to spin...[Female Vocal] (Whispering, fading out)Just close your eyes, my darlin', and let the dream begin...
