[Intro - spoken, hushed, upright bass + ride cymbal, distant trumpet] *Sunday night... and I’m not dreaming...* [Verse 1 - smoky jazz bass, brushed drums, vibraphone, nightclub ambience] Down the stone steps, into the blue Candlelight flickering, waiting for you You’re at the back table, tie a bit loose You stand when you see me, oh, what’s the use You pull out my chair like a scene in a film My hands are shaking, my coffee’s gone still The bass player nods, the trumpet sighs And I’m drowning deep in your dark eyes [Pre-Chorus - strings enter soft, hand snaps, "mmm" backing vocals] You pour me red wine, just a little glass Say "to the poets" and let the moment pass Your knee bumps mine under the table And my heart goes boom-boom-boom, unstable [Chorus - tambourine, "yeah-yeah" backing vocals, vintage organ bloom] Oh, Mister Silver, it’s Sunday night In this cellar club with the candlelight You asked me here, and now I see I’m falling deeper, yeah-yeah No fantasy left, you’re here with me Mister Silver, reality Tastes like wine, yeah-yeah [Verse 2 - saxophone lick, walking bass, playful but intimate] You tell me stories of Paris, ‘68 Of records you spun when you stayed out late I tell you ‘bout school and my silly band You laugh and you cover my cold little hand The singer goes quiet, the room holds its breath You lean a bit closer, I almost forget To breathe, to blink, to be nineteen ‘Cause this feels like every dream I’ve seen [Pre-Chorus - bigger, brass swells, drums build softly] When they play "La Vie en Rose" so slow You whisper the words like you’ve always known And the whole world tilts on its axis And my heart goes boom-boom-boom, on practices [Chorus - repeat, add "ba-da-ba" backing vocals, key lift on last line] Oh, Mister Silver, it’s Sunday night In this cellar club with the candlelight You asked me here, and now I see I’m falling deeper, yeah-yeah No fantasy left, you’re here with me Mister Silver, reality Tastes like wine, yeah-yeah [Bridge - breakdown, spoken over piano + upright bass solo] *You walk me home through the empty street... No words, just the sound of our feet... At my door you pause, then you smile... Say "next Sunday?"... and I’m lost for a while...* [Final Chorus - full band, triumphant, horn hits, cymbal swells] Oh, Mister Silver, it’s Sunday night And next Sunday’s already in sight No more dreaming on my own ‘Cause I’m falling deeper, yeah-yeah-yeah Into your world, into your tone Mister Silver, I’ve finally flown Out of my dream, yeah-yeah-yeah! [Outro - slow fade, vinyl crackle, trumpet solo, distant laughter] *Sunday... next Sunday... yeah-yeah...*
