Blue Leather and Rain

[Intro]
[Verse]
The rain hits the pier
A low-light veneer
My heart starts to steer
Whenever you're near
The piano plays low
With nowhere to go
The night is a blur
In a velvet-lined purr
[Chorus]
Across the dim bar
I see who you are
The bourbon clinks soft
My spirit's aloft
Leather and rain
A sweet kind of pain
The streetlights are waiting
No more hesitating
[Post-Chorus]
(Scat section)
Shoo-be-doo-ba-dee
Just you and me
Ba-da-da-da-dap
Caught in the trap
[Verse]
Ice hits the glass
The minutes they pass
Your jacket is old
A story untold
Smelling of smoke
A quiet masterstroke
You look my way
With nothing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
One wink in the dark
A slow-burning spark
The trombone is muted
Our love is recruited
[Chorus]
Across the dim bar
I see who you are
The bourbon clinks soft
My spirit's aloft
Leather and rain
A sweet kind of pain
The streetlights are waiting
No more hesitating
[Bridge]
The trombone is sighing
The city is crying
But we have a date
Under the gate
Wet pavement glows
Where the wind blows
The set's almost through
I'm coming for you
[Solo]
(Muted trombone and scat improvisation)
[Verse]
The brushes they tap
Like rain on a cap
The room is so small
We’re having a ball
The shadows they dance
In this late romance
One more sip of gold
Before we get bold
[Chorus]
Across the dim bar
I see who you are
The bourbon clinks soft
My spirit's aloft
Leather and rain
A sweet kind of pain
The streetlights are waiting
No more hesitating
[Post-Chorus]
(Scat section)
Doo-wop-ba-da-bee
Stay here with me
Zat-zat-za-da-zoo
Looking at you
[Outro]
