Velvet Midnight Blues

[Intro: Atmospheric alto saxophone over a warm, steady Rhodes piano groove] [Verse 1] Midnight shadows on the wall, Catching me before I fall. Sipping on a silver dream, Nothing’s ever what it seems. [Pre-Chorus] Watching neon turn to grey, As the city fades away. Velvet touch and cooling air, Finding magic everywhere. [Chorus] Oh, it’s a velvet midnight blues... With nothing left for me to lose. A whisper in the dark, a hollow sound, Where the lost and lonely can be found. Just my blues... A velvet midnight blues. [Verse 2] Softly comes the rain again, Washing out the old refrain. Satin sheets and dim-lit halls, Listening as the silence calls. [Pre-Chorus] Tracing lines upon the glass, Watching all the moments pass. I don’t need a reason why, Underneath this indigo sky. [Chorus] Oh, it’s a velvet midnight blues... With nothing left for me to lose. A whisper in the dark, a hollow sound, Where the lost and lonely can be found. Just my blues... A velvet midnight blues. [Bridge - Solo, This is where your engine should shine. Let the alto saxophone take a long, melodic lead, playing with the space between the notes. Keep the bass steady and deep] [Outro] Indigo sky... Just you and I... In the velvet... In the blue... [Fade out with a final, breathy saxophone riff]
