[Intro – smoky piano, crawling bass]
[Tenor Sax – raspy low phrase]
[Blues Choir – deep hum]
Mmmmmm…
Ohhhhhh…
[Lead – gravelly]
Come closer…
I ain’t ready
To break this rhythm.
[Verse 1]
Your silhouette is swaying
Where the amber shadows fall,
That piano’s talking wicked
From the corner by the wall.
I feel the bass beneath us,
Slow thunder through the floor,
You lean your weight against me
And I start wanting more.
No counting down the minutes,
No watching hands of time,
Just follow where I’m leading,
And I’ll follow where you wind.
[Blues Choir – low]
Sway on…
Sway on…
[Pre-Chorus]
Let your shoulders roll,
Let your footsteps drag.
Give that horn some room to breathe,
And let the rhythm have its way.
[Chorus – thick grinding blues]
Give me one more slow dance,
Make it heavy, make it sweet.
Let that low-down rhythm
Roll beneath our feet.
Give me one more slow dance,
Keep your heartbeat next to mine.
Let the sax crawl through the smoke,
While we move behind the time.
[Blues Choir – soulful]
ONE MORE…
SLOW DANCE…
Mmmmmm…
[Instrumental – filthy tenor sax]
[Verse 2]
Those old keys hit a shuffle,
Then the Hammond answers back.
That guitar bends a blue note,
While the drummer drags the track.
You turn without a warning,
Then settle close again.
And every inch we’re moving
Makes me forget where I’ve been.
Ain’t chasing any ending,
Ain’t asking what’s in store.
I’m only asking, baby,
For another across this floor.
[Blues Choir]
Ohhhhhh…
Keep swaying…
[Lead]
That’s the way…
[Chorus]
Give me one more slow dance,
Make it heavy, make it sweet.
Let that low-down rhythm
Roll beneath our feet.
Give me one more slow dance,
Keep your heartbeat next to mine.
Let that sax crawl through the smoke,
While we move behind the time.
[Bridge – dirty piano takes over]
[Lead – low]
Piano…
Talk to her.
[Dirty Piano – rolling blues lick]
[Lead]
Sax…
Tell her the rest.
[Tenor Sax – long raspy growl]
[Blues Choir]
Mmmmmm…
[Breakdown – deep bass pulse]
Slow feet.
Close heat.
Let the rhythm breathe.
Low horn.
Keys worn.
Give me what I need.
Six-string cry.
Hammond rise.
Drums keep dragging low.
[Blues Choir – building]
ONE MORE…
ONE MORE…
ONE MORE…
[Lead]
Now bring it home.
[Final Chorus – full band and choir]
GIVE ME ONE MORE SLOW DANCE,
Let that dirty piano roll.
Give me one more slow dance,
Let that tenor shake my soul.
One more slow dance,
Let the whole room move in time.
Keep that bass down in the basement,
Keep your body close to mine.
[Blues Choir – huge]
ONE MORE SLOW DANCE!
ONE MORE SLOW DANCE!
[Finale – piano, sax and guitar trading]
[Lead – gravelly]
Yeah…
That’s how you end a night.
[Tenor Sax – final low growl]
[Blues Choir – fading]
Mmmmmm…
