The coffee hums in the corner glow
Soft light flickers where shadows grow
His fingers dance on that guitar's string
And in the quiet the nightbirds sing
Oh the city breathes when the lights go dim
Life's a rhythm and we're swaying in it with him
Notes like whispers falling into the air
The weight of silence we no longer bear
Windows fogged with stories untold
Echoes of laughter and hearts made bold
Streetlights blink like they're trying to say
Stay here darling don’t fade away
A saxophone cries alone in the void
With every note something gets destroyed
But oh those ruins make a garden grow
In the cracks where love begins to show
Cars drift by with a sleepy grace
Leaving trails like ghosts on time's embrace
We steal moments under the velvet sky
Living for now with a whispered sigh
Oh the city breathes when the lights go dim
Life's a rhythm and we're swaying in it with him
Notes like whispers falling into the air
The weight of silence we no longer bear
