Lost in the Groove

[Verse] Rain slicks the pavement, tears tap-dance the beat Sax moans low, a shadow in the heat A guitar whispers secrets it can’t repeat Empty barstools, ghosts where love used to meet [Chorus] Lost in the groove, in the cracks of the night A harp cries the blues, under dim neon light Can’t find the answer, though the question feels right Lost in the groove, till the dawn kills the fight [Verse 2] Broken clock spins circles, time’s drunk on despair Percussion taps my ribs, the heart’s tempo bare Whiskey’s a preacher, but salvation ain’t there Words choke in the throat, sax wails through the air [Bridge] Fingers on strings, they’re mapping my pain Rhythm like thunder, slow-burning rain The harp howls the sorrow, a wolf unchained Life’s a chessboard, every move preordained [Chorus] Lost in the groove, in the cracks of the night A harp cries the blues, under dim neon light Can’t find the answer, though the question feels right Lost in the groove, till the dawn kills the fight [Outro] Sax fades to silence, harp takes its bow Guitar hums the past, though the present’s the now Groove’s a tightrope, walked with furrowed brow Lost, but found in the music somehow
