Velvet After Midnight

City lights are fading in your eyes

I can hear the quiet where we lie

Soft words drift like smoke between us now

And every little silence pulls me down

You move like a secret in the dark

Tracing little fire lines on my heart

I've been trying not to show the way I feel

But every touch from you makes it real

Hold me close in the velvet after midnight

Let the world fall away, let it fade out of sight

You and me in a slow golden moonlight

I can stay right here till the morning feels like light

Coffee cold but your laugh still stays

In the corners of my mind all day

You know how to read the space I hide

How to call my truth back to my side

No rush, no need to speak too fast

When the sweetest moments know to last

I've been searching for a place that feels like home

And somehow in your arms, I'm not alone

Hold me close in the velvet after midnight

Let the world fall away, let it fade out of sight

You and me in the slow golden moonlight

I could stay right here till the morning feels like life

If the road gets long and the night runs deep

Promise me your love won't drift to sleep

I'll be the calm when the shadows bloom

You'll be the spark that lights the room

Hold me close

In the velvet after midnight

Let the world fall away

Let it fade out of sight

You and me

In the slow golden moonlight

Stay right here till the morning feels like light

Stay with me

In this soft slow glow

Don't let go

Oh, let go
