[Verse 1] Concrete dust settles on the windowsill Shadows stretch out when the city is still Clock hands turn in slow motion haze Counting the cracks in these ordinary days Footsteps echo down a narrow hall Fingers tracing patterns on a plaster wall [Chorus] Breathe in the quiet, let the heavy drop In this little pocket where the seconds stop Minimal space, nothing more to say Just the rhythm carrying the night away [Verse 2] Coffee cup rings on a wooden table top Needle hits the vinyl and the world won't stop Dust motes dancing in the amber gleam Waking up slowly from a wandering dream Paper notes folded with a secret word Echoes of a melody you almost heard [Chorus] Breathe in the quiet, let the heavy drop In this little pocket where the seconds stop Minimal space, nothing more to say Just the rhythm carrying the night away [Outro] Fading light Soft jazz night Let it go Slowly now [Instrumental]
