Velvet Sidewalks

[Intro]
[Verse]
Amber light hits the floor
I don't need much more
Shoes beside the door
No one keeping score
Watching shadows grow tall
On the bedroom wall
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet design
Somewhere in the line
Everything is fine
This moment is mine
Just a secret I keep
While the city is deep
In a rhythm so sweet
On a one-way street
[Post-Chorus]
Slow it down
In this town
No more frown
Golden crown
[Verse]
Trumpet in the breeze
Moving with such ease
Rustle of the trees
Doing what I please
Wurlitzer plays low
Watch the traffic flow
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows tall and thin
Let the night begin
Feel it on my skin
Where the light gets in
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet design
Somewhere in the line
Everything is fine
This moment is mine
Just a secret I keep
While the city is deep
In a rhythm so sweet
On a one-way street
[Bridge]
No map to follow
No bitter pill to swallow
No feeling hollow
In the golden shallow
Let the bass slap slow
Where the cool winds blow
[Hook]
Can you keep it?
How we seek it
Soulful secret
Don't repeat it
[Verse]
Steam rises from the grate
Nothing's ever late
Leave it up to fate
At a steady state
Brushed drums on the beat
Cooling off the heat
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet design
Somewhere in the line
Everything is fine
This moment is mine
Just a secret I keep
While the city is deep
In a rhythm so sweet
On a one-way street
[Outro]
