Thief in Silken Guise

Tango
About
A haunting tango where the bandoneon's mournful cry weaves through syncopated rhythms and legato strings, building to a dramatic crescendo that evokes the relentless passage of time. Rubato tempo infuses intimate verses and soaring choruses with emotional depth, supported by piano and double bass in a chamber-style arrangement. Passionate male vocals lament fleeting moments in a lover's embrace, fading into a resonant outro.
Lyrics
soft shadows stretch across the floor moments linger then they're no more your touch ignites a hidden flame we sway in rhythm call your name lips brush like secrets in the dark hearts glide igniting the spark years unravel in your embrace fleeting grace fleeting glances stolen grace oh time you thief in silken guise stealing breaths painting goodbyes passion burns then fades to size in your eyes arms eternity lies fingers trace the lines upon your skin stories where we begin nights entwine bodies confess love's fierce grip under duress seasons turn yet fire remains through these hours breaking chains oh time you thief in silken guise stealing breaths painting goodbyes passion burns then fades to size in your arms eternity lies now the dawn creeps in too soon come some of us beneath the moon hold me closer defy the tide in this instant we abide oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
