Brooklyn Mist

[Intro]
[Verse]
The club was loud, gin was cheap
You were a secret to keep
A tilt of the head, smoky light
Before I stepped into the night
The tenor sax was blowing blue
I was looking straight at you
A shared smile across the floor
Then I walked out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain hums a D minor tune
Beneath a hazy, Brooklyn moon
My coat is damp, step is slow
Nowhere left for me to go
The streetlights flicker in the gray
Washing the city's sins away
[Chorus]
Just a glance, a tiny thing
Like a bird with silver wing
Shared breath in a crowded room
Flower that forgot to bloom
I don't know your name
But I feel the same
A midnight heart is healing
Such a beautiful feeling
The quiet warmth you bring
To this lonely Brooklyn swing
[Post-Chorus]
Shoo-be-doo, the night is deep
While the borough is fast asleep
[Verse]
Flugelhorn echoes off the brick
Fog is settling, heavy and thick
Eyes in the puddle’s glow
A ghost I’ll never know
I light a smoke to stall
Watching the shadows on the wall
Why a face can feel so near
When the morning light is here
[Bridge]
Two ships lost in the mist
A story never to be kissed
For a second, rhythm was right
In a Brooklyn night
Upright bass pulls me home
Through wet streets where I roam
A gentle, loose kind of grace
Home in a foreign place
[Solo]
[Verse]
Bass is walking in my head
Things we never really said
A nod, a smile, a delay
Music washed us both away
I turn near the bridge
Walking on a memory’s edge
Coffee shop is closed and dark
Like benches in the park
[Chorus]
Just a glance, a tiny thing
Like a bird with silver wing
Shared breath in a crowded room
Flower that forgot to bloom
I don't know your name
But I feel the same
A midnight heart is healing
Such a beautiful feeling
The quiet warmth you bring
To this lonely Brooklyn swing
[Outro]
