Pale Blue Velvet

[Intro]

[Verse]
The ceiling fan spins a slow lazy wheel
Cutting through the heavy afternoon heat
Ice cubes clink inside a condensation glass
While your bare feet tap against the floorboards
The sun leans heavy on the windowsill
Turning the dust motes into tiny sparks of gold

[Verse]
We don't need to speak of tomorrow today
The ocean breeze is tangled in the curtains
Everything we lost is just a shadow now
Drowning in the amber of this quiet room
The clock on the wall has forgotten its duty
Resting its hands at the top of the hour

[Chorus]
Sway with the drifting tide of the melody
Let the soft nylon strings brush your skin
There is a sweet mercy in the stillness
Floating on a sea of pale blue velvet
Nothing remains but the breath we share
In the slow orbit of a perfect afternoon

[Chorus]
Sway with the drifting tide of the melody
Let the soft nylon strings brush your skin
There is a sweet mercy in the stillness
Floating on a sea of pale blue velvet
Nothing remains but the breath we share
In the slow orbit of a perfect afternoon

[Bridge]
The world outside is a frantic storm
Chasing shadows and climbing glass towers
But here the light moves like liquid honey
And the gravity feels kind for once
Just stay in the hollow of this moment
Where the air is thick with lavender and rest

[Verse]
Close your eyes and let the landscape fade
The geometry of the city is far away
We are just two feathers on a summer draft
Caught in the tilt of a spinning planet
Even the silence has a gentle tune
Humming along with the lazy afternoon

[Chorus]
Sway with the drifting tide of the melody
Let the soft nylon strings brush your skin
There is a sweet mercy in the stillness
Floating on a sea of pale blue velvet
Nothing remains but the breath we share
In the slow orbit of a perfect afternoon

[Chorus]
Sway with the drifting tide of the melody
Let the soft nylon strings brush your skin
There is a sweet mercy in the stillness
Floating on a sea of pale blue velvet
Nothing remains but the breath we share
In the slow orbit of a perfect afternoon

[Outro]
