Blue Hour Reverie

​(Intro)

(Sound of a cassette tape being pushed in and clicking play)

(A soft, warm hum of a bass guitar)

​(Verse 1)

The world is painted in shades of blue

A frozen canvas, a lonely view

The streetlamps flicker, tired and old

Against the shiver of the biting cold

I’m turning the pages of an empty book

Giving the silence a second look.

​(Chorus)

It’s the blue hour, somewhere in between

The things we’ve done and the things we’ve seen

Let the snowflakes settle on the window ledge

We’re standing safe on the winter’s edge

Just me and the static and the slow-mo fall

In a world that doesn’t feel big at all.

​(Bridge - Deep, calm voice)

"They say the snow is a blanket for the earth...

tucking everything in for a long sleep.

Maybe we should do the same.

Just... exhale."

​(Verse 2)

The shadows are long and the air is thin

I’m letting the calm of the night crawl in

No ghosts in the hallway, no weight on my chest

Just a heart that’s finally found some rest

Watching the powder pile up on the gate

The morning is coming, but it can wait.

​(Outro)

(The jazz trumpet plays a final, fading note)

(Sound of a soft yawn and the tape hiss fading out)

Blue hour...

Stay a little longer...

Don't wake up yet...

Just drift
