[Verse] A whispered breeze a ghost in the eaves I am the dust motes dancing In a sunbeam’s long reach A forgotten dream a silent scream I am the shadow growing [Prechorus] [Keep a funky groove] Not a storm not a fire Just a hum electric wire [Chorus] [Move with a funky groove] [Force the falsetto] I am the velvet echo Low and slow Between the heartbeats You don’t know I am the velvet echo Back and back it goes A whispered promise Under your skin it grows [Verse 2] Blue glass catching morning light I am the quiet morning Before the city wakes up A coat left on a chair all night I am the slow turning Of pages in a book [Prechorus] [Keep a funky groove] Not a sound not a shout Just a thought floating out [Bridge] Keep the lamp low Let the room breathe around us Your shirt on the back of the door My hand on the table, still Don’t ask for more than this Smoke in the glass Your voice under mine And the whole place going soft [Chorus] [Move with a funky groove] [Force the falsetto] I am the velvet echo Low and slow Between the heartbeats You don’t know I am the velvet echo Back and back it goes A whispered promise Under your skin it grows [Hook] Hold me where the room stays small Keep the floor under me Let the soft things call I am here, I am here [Prechorus] [Keep a funky groove] Not a flare not a spark Just a pulse in the dark [Chorus] [Move with a funky groove] [Force the falsetto] I am the velvet echo Low and slow You know me by the hush You know I am the velvet echo Back and back it goes A whispered promise Under your skin it grows [Outro] Low light. Slow breath. Same voice. The eaves keep their secret And I stay close ---NEXT_PROMPTS--- Tighten the final chorus so it hits harder Make the hook even more intimate and physical Add one more concrete image to the outro Rewrite the prechorus with a darker pull Give verse 2 a sharper morning scene Reduce the bridge and make it more sparse
