Midnight Flame

Lyrics [Intro – hypnotic, nocturnal] Streetlight flickers on the boulevard Summer heat still on the stone A distant organ hums through the night Like a restless undertone [Verse 1 – mysterious, intimate] You stood beneath the neon sign Wind moving through your hair The city breathing slow and deep Like it knew that we were there Your voice was low like midnight thunder Soft but cutting through the haze Every word a spark of lightning Setting fire to the maze [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] The night kept turning slowly Like a wheel inside the dark And every shadow on the pavement Looked like it might leave a mark [Chorus – lifted, hypnotic] You lit a fire in the midnight air Burning bright against the sky Every street became a doorway Every moment passing by And the flame kept rising higher Through the rhythm of the night Till the darkness turned to color In the glow of your light [Instrumental Break – organ and guitar motif] [Verse 2 – surreal imagery] Headlights drift along the avenue Like ships across the sea A saxophone cries somewhere far In a smoky melody You said the night was endless If we followed where it led Through every echo of the city Through every word unsaid [Bridge – psychedelic reflection]
