Delta Cotton Cry

In the quiet of the night Shadows dance on my skin Your whisper lingers like Swarm of flame we let in Heartbeats echo in the cool Of this empty room Chasing memories of you Under the midnight moon Oh, made you feel the rhythm Pulling me under So deep in the blues Thunder in my wonder Your touch was the melody Smooth as silk on my face Now I'm lost in the harmony Calling out your name R&B in my blood Is the fire we knew Emotional waves crashing R&B in my blood Forever missing you They slide and thump Like the ache in my chest Sworn fate Electric strings From the promises We never made Horns cry out in the distance Sharp and bittersweet Every note's a confession Every pause incomplete Oh, made me feel the rhythm Pulling me under So deep in the blues Thunder in my wonder Your touch was the melody Smooth as silk on my face Now I'm lost in the harmony Calling out your name R&B in my blood Is the fire we knew Emotional waves crashing Forever missing you Slow it down Let the syncopation breathe Vocal curves bending round my neck I'm the hurt I can't relieve From the roots of this town African the flow Grooves that heal and break me In this sensual glow Baby, feel the rhythm Pulling me under So deep in the blues Thunder in my wonder Your touch was the melody Smooth as silk on my face R&B in my blood Is the fire we knew Emotional waves crashing R&B in my blood Is the fire we knew Emotional waves crashing R&B in my blood Is the fire we knew Emotional waves crashing R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood R&B in my blood
