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
