Delta Nightfall – Velvet Avenue

Verse

Copper light on the water line

Your gold hoops catch the last of the shine

Conga drum in my chest keeping time

Riverboat rocking, you're moving so fine

Barefoot dancing on wet cobblestone

Trumpet calling like it's calling us home

I got the taste of your name on my tongue

And I ain't letting go till the night is done

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising, rising

Right where the river bends

Tell me this ain't the last time

Tell me it never ends

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Delta nightfall, sky bleeding red

Holding on to this feeling

Your hand in mine, nothing left unsaid

Holding on to this feeling

Let the whole world fade instead

I'm holding on, holding on, holding on

Till the last light's dead

Verse

Neon flickers on the tin roof bar

Cinnamon smoke and a borrowed guitar

Your hips keep the rhythm the trumpet forgot

I'm running this table, you're all that I've got

Ice in the glass and the heat on your skin

Twenty past twelve and the band starts again

I read every step like a map I still know

So take my hand, baby, here we go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising, rising

Right where the river bends

Tell me this ain't the last time

Tell me it never ends

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Delta nightfall, sky bleeding red

Holding on to this feeling

Your hand in mine, nothing left unsaid

Holding on to this feeling

Let the whole world fade instead

I'm holding on, holding on, holding on

Till the last light's dead

Bridge

Maybe mornings come and steal the glow

Maybe rivers change the way they flow

But right now, right here, I own this beat

So dance with me slow, don't miss a beat

This one's ours, no clock, no key

Just you, this fire, and the salt on the sea

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Delta nightfall, sky bleeding red

Holding on to this feeling

Your hand in mine, nothing left unsaid

Holding on to this feeling

Let the whole world fade instead

I'm holding on, holding on, holding on

Till the last light's dead
