[Intro — shimmering guitar swell, reverb haze, near silence] (A single reverb-drenched guitar chord blooms with slow chorus and tremolo. Soft tape hiss. Long dreamy tail. The ethereal vocal drifts in, distant and full. No vocal chops — whole lines only.) [Verse 1 — vocal + hazy guitar] The day lets go without a sound, the sky turns slow to velvet blue, I stand between the light and dark and lose a little more of you. (A soft glassy delayed arpeggio enters, gentle and drifting.) [Pre-Chorus] Everything goes weightless now, everything is half-awake, hold my hand before the hour turns to something we can't take. [Chorus — wide, shimmering, floating] Slow blue hour, don't move on, keep us hanging in between, neither here nor gone, just a soft and fading dream, oh, we're floating in the blue, oh, we're floating in the blue. (Guitars bloom, then thin out into a single glassy note.) [Verse 2 — back to sparse, add drifting pad] The windows fill with quiet gold, then fold themselves to indigo, I could stay inside this minute and let the whole world let me go. [Pre-Chorus — swelling gently] Everything is soft and dim, everything is coming down, paint the twilight on my skin before the dark comes into town. [Chorus — repeat, warmer layered harmonies] Slow blue hour, don't move on, keep us hanging in between, neither here nor gone, just a soft and fading dream, oh, we're floating in the blue, oh, we're floating in the blue. [Bridge — voice almost alone, drums drop out] (Everything falls away into reverb. Just the ethereal voice, a single held guitar swell beneath, glide and bloom. Whole sung lines, no chops.) And the streetlights start to hum… and the evening holds its breath, and we blur, oh, we blur, soft as the light we left… [Final Chorus — quiet, half-time, drenched in reverb] Slow blue hour, stay awhile, keep us drifting in between, neither lost nor found, just a soft and fading dream, oh, we're floating in the blue, still floating in the blue. [Outro — fade to a single shimmering guitar note and hiss] (The bass fades. A last reverb-soaked guitar chord blooms and dissolves into tape hiss. The voice sings one soft unbroken line, then melts into silence.) Slow blue hour… don't let go.
