Rain on the Rhodes

Midnight leaves against the window pane;

Soft rain writes your name again and again;

Rose light hums in a velvet haze;

We drift through the room in a slow cold phase;

Every beat falls gentle and low;

Like a secret only we both know;

Your voice glows warm in the dim lit air;

And I'll forget the weight I wear;

Stay with me where the records spin;

Let the quiet, let the feeling in;

Under moonlight, we can breathe and sway;

Till the night turns softly grey;

Stay with me, don't let the moment go;

Remove like smoke in the afterglow;

Brushed drums whisper through the candle smoke;

A bright bass holds every unsaid note;

Muted trumpets slip through the silent suite;

Like a far-off pulse with a sleepy heartbeat;

Everest beat falls gentle and low;

Like a secret only we both know;

Your voice glows warm in the dimly lit air;

And I forget the weight I wear;

Stay with me where the records spin;

Let the quiet, let the feeling in;

Under moonlight, we can breathe and sway;

Kill the night, turn softly gray;

Stay with me to let the moment go;

We move like smoke in the afterglow;

If the world outside gets loud and fast;

We can let it all just drift and pass;

One more chord and the edge is blurred;

In this little room, it's you and her;

Stay with me where the records spin;

Let the choir, let the feeling in;

On the moonlight, we can breathe and sway;

Till the night turns to regret;

Stay with me, don't let the moment go;

We'll move like smoke in the afterglow;

Rain keeps time on the glass tonight;

And your life feels like a low on light;

We fade into the vinyl glow;
