[Intro] [Distant applause] [Glass clinking] [Verse 1] The velvet curtains part for the evening light Loni takes the stage in the middle of the night A glass of bourbon and a lingering stare The scent of jasmine hanging in the air [Chorus] Oh, it’s the Loni lounge where the shadows play Melting all the worries of a long, cold day Just a smoky melody and a soft refrain Washing out the echoes of the city rain [Bridge] [Soft piano solo] A whispered secret in a trumpet’s call Watching as the golden embers slowly fall No need for hurry, no need for the clock Just the rhythm of the heart in a steady rock [Chorus] Oh, it’s the Loni lounge where the shadows play Melting all the worries of a long, cold day Just a smoky melody and a soft refrain Washing out the echoes of the city rain [Outro] [Soft brush snare] Loni’s song is ending, the lights go low One more for the road before we have to go [Fade Out] [End]
