Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] The silver moon hangs low and wide Across the ridge where shadows hide The air is thin The frost is deep While all the valley lies in sleep But on the wind A lonely cry Underneath the velvet sky [Chorus] Underneath the velvet sky Something stirs Something sighs Name half-formed on the edge of the night (oh) Is it you Is it mine Is it mercy Is it time Calling out across this quiet white [Verse 2] A single track through brittle grass Fresh and faint where the aspens pass A distant light A failing spark A heartbeat hitching in the dark I taste your name I never try To speak it to the waiting sky [Chorus] Underneath the velvet sky Something breaks Something binds Ghost of hope in the corner of my eye Is it you Is it mine Is it mercy Is it time Calling out beneath this frozen high [Bridge] If I answer Will it drag me down the slope (hey) If I stay silent Will I lose my only hope So I just breathe Watch my breath go drifting by Tiny clouds On a black and silver sky [Chorus] Underneath the velvet sky Something lives Something dies Every wish hangs trembling on the line Is it you Is it mine Is it mercy Is it time Calling out Calling out Underneath the velvet sky

Haunting folk ballad with intimate male vocals and fingerpicked acoustic guitar; soft upright bass and brushed snare enter on the second pass of the hook. Subtle pedal steel swells widen the chorus, reverb-dusted harmonies bloom on key lines. Energy stays low and tense, building to a single shivery climax before fading back to a close, breathy outro., deep, sleep, low
