Piano In The Blue Hour

Verse

Chairs flip up where the dancers stood

Blue light spills through the velvet hood

Your hand lies flat on the fallboard's edge

Wood still holds the night's own heat

Pre-Chorus

Is it the keys or the space between

Is it your breath keeping time unseen

Chorus

Piano in the blue hour, keys run cold

Your hand stays close but the hour holds

Piano in the blue hour, we don't touch

Silence says almost, says just enough

Verse

Last set fades, the barman dims the sign

Your shoulder leans an inch from mine

Sustain pedal holds the chord we lost

Nobody's counting up the cost

Pre-Chorus

Is it the keys or the space between

Is it your breath keeping time unseen

Chorus

Piano in the blue hour, keys run cold

Your hand stays close but the hour holds

Piano in the blue hour, we don't touch

Silence says almost, says just enough

Bridge

Dawn comes thin through the fire door

Floor gone quiet, we want more

No key struck, no word to spend

Just the hush where the two notes bend

Chorus

Piano in the blue hour, keys run cold

Your hand stays close but the hour holds

Piano in the blue hour, we don't touch

Silence says almost, says just enough
