Midnight Cocoa

​(Intro)

(Sound of rain/snow hitting the windowpane)

(Muffled lo-fi drums kick in with a soft jazz guitar)

​(Verse 1)

Blanket wrapped tight, shadows on the wall

Watching the crystal feathers fall

The radio is humming a low-fi tune

Reflecting the silver of a hidden moon

My thoughts are drifting like a paper plane

Over the hills and through the frozen rain.

​(Chorus)

Slow down, let the winter breathe

There’s a peace in the air you won't believe

Just a pen and a page and a quiet room

Watching the white winter flowers bloom

No rush, no static, just the flow

In the soft, white kingdom of the snow.

​(Bridge)

(A long instrumental solo—mellow saxophone)

(The sound of a page turning and a soft sigh)

​(Verse 2)

The ink on the paper is drying slow

In the amber flicker of the candle glow

I’ve got everything I need right here

The cold outside makes the vision clear

The world is a postcard, frozen in time

A rhythmic pulse in a silent rhyme.

​(Outro)

(Music starts to muffle, as if heard from another room)

Just drift...

Into the white...

Goodnight, world...

Goodnight.
