[INTRO — 62 BPM — SLOW 6/8 BLUES] [SMOKY TENOR SAX — LOW PHRASE] [PEDAL STEEL ANSWERS] [BRUSHED SNARE — FAR BEHIND THE GROOVE] [BASS — ONE LOW NOTE] [VERSE 1 — CONOR, LOW BARITONE — HALF-SPOKEN] Come here, baby. I've been watching you from across this room long enough. And waiting... [PAUSE] Well, waiting gets heavy when what you're waiting for is standing right there. So take your time. That little chain around your waist— let it fall. Those pretty things you wore for everybody else's eyes... you don't need them now. [SAX — LOW ANSWER] We're alone. [VERSE 2 — LAZY, ALMOST SPOKEN] Let down your hair. Yeah... just like that. Leave your shoes where they land. There's nothing between here and that bed you need them for. [PEDAL STEEL — LONG BEND] And don't hurry. I've waited all evening. I can wait another minute... if watching you is how I spend it. [CHORUS — SUNG LOW, NEVER BELTED] Let my roving hands go where your love allows, Before and behind you, above and below. There ain't any hurry, there ain't any plan— Just you, just me, and these roving hands. [SAX + STEEL — SLOW INTERLUDE] [VERSE 3 — SPOKEN] Donne called his lover a new-found land. [SOFT CHUCKLE] Man had a way with words. Me? I'd just say there are places about you I've dreamed of knowing... and tonight you're letting me learn. Not conquer. Not claim. Just discover. Slowly. [BASS — LOW SUSTAINED NOTE] Every curve, every breath, every little place that makes you close your eyes. [PAUSE] Yeah. That one too. [TENOR SAX — BREATHY ANSWER] [CHORUS — DEEPER] Let my roving hands go where your love allows, Before and behind you, above and below. There ain't any hurry, there ain't any plan— Just you, just me, and these roving hands. [INSTRUMENTAL — STEEL + SAX] [LONG EMPTY SPACES] [BRUSHED SNARE NEVER CHANGES] [TELECASTER — ONE BLUES NOTE, THEN SILENCE] [BRIDGE — SPOKEN, VERY CLOSE] All those jewels, all that silk, all those things people put between themselves and being seen... let 'em go. You don't need decoration. Not here. Not with me. [PAUSE] There's nothing wrong with innocence standing naked in the light. And if you need convincing... [LONG PAUSE] I'll go first. [SAX — LOW GROWL] [FINAL CHORUS — HALF-SUNG / HALF-SPOKEN] Let my roving hands go where your love allows, Before and behind you, above and below. No promises needed. No lines in the sand. Just trust me tonight with these roving hands. [DROP — VOICE ONLY] Come here, baby. [PAUSE] I've been waiting long enough. [PEDAL STEEL — SLOW BEND] But don't you hurry. [TENOR SAX ANSWERS] We've got all night. [OUTRO — SAX + STEEL] [BRUSHED SNARE FADES]
