In the velvet dusk, the shadows start to creep,
Aching chords are whisperin’ secrets, deep,
Through a trembling haze, where memories drown,
I feel the weight of love that's just come unwound.
Restless moon, hanging low in the sky,
Casting somber echoes as the night draws nigh,
Smoky tides roll in, pulling me away,
Drifting thoughts of you, in the twilight they play.
On the cobblestone streets where our laughter would sing,
Now the silence cuts sharp, like a heart with no ring,
Every step I take feels heavier still,
Each dusky shadow, mocking the thrill.
In the velvet dusk, just me and my blues,
Wrapped in your memory, oh how I lose,
Fingers on the strings, strumming low and wide,
Playing out the feelings that I can’t abide.
The bottle’s half empty, but my heart’s full of tears,
Each sip a reminder of all of those years,
You were my sunset, now I’m lost in the night,
Searching for the warmth in this cold, faded light.
Restless moon, you know my pain too well,
Tell me where to turn, can you break this spell?
Through smoky tides and aching chords I roam,
In the velvet dusk, I’m forever alone.
So I’ll sit here and strum, ‘neath the stars' distant glow,
Finding solace in the rhythm that only I know,
With the velvet dusk fading, I'm ready to go,
As the night whispers secrets, I’ll let my heart flow.
Blues
Velvet dusk, aching chords, trembling haze, dusky shadows, restless moon, somber echoes, smoky tides
