[Intro] [instrumental: electric piano chords, muted trumpet, city ambience] [Verse 1] [female vocal, smooth and close] Midnight velvet on the street Shadows move beneath my feet Every window, every sign Knows a secret close to mine I don’t hurry, I don’t hide I let the silence be my guide In the corner of the night I find another kind of light [Refrain] [bass groove, soft backing vocals] Step by step Through the blue No one knows What I do [Chorus] [smooth full arrangement] I’m driving through the midnight Under velvet city lights Lost inside the rhythm But I never felt so right I’m chasing down a feeling That I almost left behind Somewhere in the darkness I can hear my heart rewind [Instrumental Break] [muted trumpet solo, walking bass, brushed drums] [Verse 2] [female vocal, slightly brighter] Cigarette glow, distant rain Old regrets in windowpanes I don’t name them anymore I just leave them by the door Every lie I used to wear Fades into the evening air There’s a truth I won’t confess Hidden in my quietness [Refrain 2] [soft guitar chops] Step by step Through the blue If I fall I fall through [Chorus] [wider harmonies] I’m driving through the midnight Under velvet city lights Lost inside the rhythm But I never felt so right I’m chasing down a feeling That I almost left behind Somewhere in the darkness I can hear my heart rewind [Bridge] [piano, soft strings, half-time drums] Maybe I was waiting For a sign that never came Maybe I was changing Long before I had a name In the quiet after rain I can finally breathe again No spotlight, no disguise Just the stars in my eyes [Final Chorus] [full arrangement, trumpet answers vocal] I’m driving through the midnight Under velvet city lights Lost inside the rhythm But I never felt so right I’m chasing down a feeling That I almost left behind Somewhere in the darkness I can hear my heart rewind [Outro] [electric piano fade, city ambience] Midnight velvet Take me home
