[Intro: Rhodes, Hammond organ, warm bass, soft drum pocket] [Verse 1] [deep full-bodied Black female soul vocal, low register] Same old evening on the window Same soft light across the floor Nothing broken, nothing calling Still I need you more and more Every silence leaves a trace now Every shadow knows your name I keep hearing through the quiet Hold me in the quiet again [Organ fill] [Verse 2] Cool air moving through the curtains Low street hum and passing cars Something tender keeps on turning Like a slow fire in the dark Give me one more honest moment One more truth before you go I can feel it in my body Hold me in the quiet slow Yeah, hold me in the quiet slow [Chorus] Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet When the night gets deep and low Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet Like the only love I know In the smallest little moment You can feel a heart unfold Stay with me a little longer Hold me in the quiet close [Verse 3] Maybe love was never louder Maybe that’s what made it real All the little things between us Still have time enough to heal I’m not asking for forever Just don’t leave me with the smoke If there’s something left between us Hold me in the quiet close Oh, hold me in the quiet close [Hammond swell] [Bridge: Hammond organ, guitar, brass] It don’t need thunder It don’t need flame Just your low voice Calling my name A soft touch A little hope That’s enough To keep me whole [Chorus] Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet When the night gets deep and low Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet Like the only love I know In the smallest little moment You can feel a heart unfold Stay with me a little longer Hold me in the quiet close [Outro: Organ outro] [Outro: Organ outro] Hold me in the quiet Hold me in the quiet Stay with me a little longer Hold me in the quiet [deep full-bodied Black female soul vocal, low register]
