[Verse]
The moon leans low, a silver sigh,
Whispering secrets to the sky.
Shadows waltz where the light won’t go,
And the air hums soft, a lover’s glow.
[Chorus]
Velvet shadows, they pull me near,
Draped in whispers I ache to hear.
The night is deep, but it knows my name,
Velvet shadows, they play the game.
[Verse 2]
A cigarette burns slow and bright,
A single spark in the endless night.
The clock ticks soft, its breath subdued,
Time, it lingers, caught in the mood.
[Prechorus]
The jazzman croons, the trumpet weeps,
While love hides where the silence creeps.
[Chorus]
Velvet shadows, they pull me near,
Draped in whispers I ache to hear.
The night is deep, but it knows my name,
Velvet shadows, they play the game.
[Bridge]
Tell me, darling, does the dark confess,
The stolen glances, the quiet caress?
Or does it keep its secrets sealed,
A heart untold, a truth concealed?
