Frayed Gold and Jasmine

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the floor
Through the open door
Lisbon tiles of blue
Waiting here for you
Dust motes dance in light
Everything feels right
Jasmine on the breeze
Moving through the trees
[Pre-Chorus]
A heavy afternoon
Swaying to a tune
I see you standing there
Light across your hair
Quiet in the stacks
Tracing all the cracks
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a slow sway
In the heat of the day
Like a soft Bossa beat
Walking on silver feet
Sweetly divine
Your hand meets mine
Sim, é você
My sweet destiny
[Post-Chorus]
(Sway with me now)
(Softly, somehow)
(Sway with me now)
(Love, take a bow)
[Verse]
Pessoa on the shelf
I keep it to myself
Frayed edges of the gold
Stories yet untold
We both reach for the page
Acting for our age
Electric skin on skin
Where do we begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
Time begins to slow
Nowhere left to go
I feel the rhythm rise
Looking in your eyes
Quiet in the stacks
Tracing all the cracks
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a slow sway
In the heat of the day
Like a soft Bossa beat
Walking on silver feet
Sweetly divine
Your hand meets mine
Sim, é você
My sweet destiny
[Bridge]
Um beijo on the wind
Where the sky is thinned
Saudade in the air
Do you even care?
The Rhodes begins to play
Don't you walk away
Keep the tempo low
Let the feeling grow
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Soft words in the ear
Nothing left to fear
Coffee in the cup
Never looking up
Just a coastal dream
Tearing at the seam
Sophisticated grace
Looking at your face
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a slow sway
In the heat of the day
Like a soft Bossa beat
Walking on silver feet
Sweetly divine
Your hand meets mine
Sim, é você
My sweet destiny
[Post-Chorus]
(Sway with me now)
(Softly, somehow)
(Sway with me now)
(Love, take a bow)
[Breakdown]
Nylon strings and light
Holding on so tight
Whisper in the heat
Make the song complete
[Outro]
