Under a velvet sky,
your heartbeat syncs with mine,
saxophone moonlight drips slow,
we sway where the river bends time.
Tattoo of breath on skin,
shadows hum a minor key,
every star is a trembling note
spelling forever in minor thirds.
Let the city lights fade to blush,
let the dawn wait its turn;
tonight the world is a vinyl groove
and love is the needle that burns.
