A dark, aching whisper of a song waking up alone with only the trace of him left behind: a feather, an empty glass, a card that still says her name. Modern funk rock stripped down to almost nothing but breath and ache. 🎩🃏🕯️🖤 ========================================================= [Verse 1] Ohh ohh ohh, it's simple, not so — not so bad waking up alone With a cloud of white puffy pillows Tangled in restless sheets between the legs [Verse 2] After a night his sleight of hand was working, and mine was working too The kind of black magic that hid two decks, not one With the sharpest sleight of hand in the room Who leaves me floating, not lying down, fog at the edge of the bed [Chorus] With the trick that hooked us both the same Pulling doves from empty sleeves Mesmerizing the audience of all those Sinners who cry sinners Doves with broken wings doves Angels in the gray angels Stars who climb stairs stars Where every hand holds a ticket to the floating magical show [Bridge] the magician Spellbound: He found the songs hiding in our sadness, and played them dark and sweet Hypnotic: He wrote our aching into melody, and we swayed at every beat Captivating: He'd charm the ache right out of you, then vanish like it was never there Enthralling: He'd pull wonder from thin air like a rabbit from a hat, and we forgot to look for the trick Entrancing: He'd wave delight over us like a wand, and we froze mid-breath, amazed Riveting: He'd hush the whole room to a held breath, and we leaned in past the glitz and sleight of hand [Chorus Reprise] Where every hand holds a ticket... to the floating magical show [Interlude] Ohh... ohh... ohh... [Final Verse] Dove feather lay on my pillow, soft as the wonder touch Empty brandy glass by the bed side, where he ran his mouth His card half-hid beneath the sheets, still saying "say my name" Still burning slow, steam won't clear from the trick, still deeper into the magic © Mary Solenne Studio.
