Slow step, my dear
Under the rain glass
Your name on my tongue
Like a secret passed
The bass keeps walking
Past the empty bar
I hear your shadow
In the brass from far
Hold that note
Let it bend
Say my name
Then fade again
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Soft and low
Where the blue notes breathe
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Close my eyes
And you come back to me
Guitar draws circles
Thin and kind and sly
Sax breathes your memory
Right across the sky
The room turns amber
On a borrowed glow
Every brushed heartbeat
Says what I won’t show
Hold that note
Let it bend
Say my name
Then fade again
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Soft and low
Where the blue notes breathe
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Close my eyes
And you come back to me
Mmm, mmm
Wide and slow
Mmm, mmm
Don’t let go
One more turn
One more sigh
Leave that ache
Right in the night
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Soft and low
Where the blue notes breathe
Mm-mm, stay with me
Mm-mm, stay with me
Close my eyes
And you come back to me
