Syncopated Midnight Blues

In the quiet of the midnight hour Where the shadows dance on a faded wall Your whisper pulls me like a river's call I'll be taken to an ancient rhythm Roots run deep in the soulful fire Echoes of the blues that never tire Every note, a story, every breath, a prayer We're woven in a groove beyond repair All this rhythm and blues, it moves me slow Soulful cries in the velvet glow Emotional waves crashing through the night Smooth as silk, holding wrong from right In your eyes I find my melody R&B, hard, wild, and free Grooves that heal what time can't touch Love's eternal in the sacred clutch Fingers trace the lines of yesterday's pain Baseline bumps like thunder in the rain Vocals rise from the depths we hide Syncopated steps where our worlds collide African whispers in the wind they glow Traditions alive in the afterglow No words can capture this intimate fire Just a beat that lifts us higher and higher All this rhythm and blues, it moves me slow Soulful cries in the velvet glow Emotional waves crashing through the night Smooth as silk, holding wrong from right In your eyes I find my melody R&B, hard, wild, and free Grooves that heal what time can't touch Love's eternal in the sacred clutch Horns cry out in the still of dawn Keyboards weave where the lost are found Electric strings, summer lovers vow Drums confess what silence won't allow From the streets to the stars we roam In this blues we've always called home Pour it out, let the spirits fly R&B forever, you and I All this rhythm and blues, it moves me slow Soulful cries in the velvet glow Emotional waves crashing through the night Smooth as silk, holding wrong from right In your eyes I find my melody R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free R&B, hard, wild, and free
