The Weight of My Heart

Verse 1

Midnight rain

Hitting the glass like a slow parade

Tracing patterns through the dark

Leaving streaks where the streetlamp glowed

Waiting on a sound

Knowing you are miles away now

Pre-Chorus

But the radio is playing that song

The one that keeps me holding on

Chorus

Smooth as the velvet night (night)

Sweet as the wine we shared (shared)

Deep as the rhythm goes

Let the music take the weight of my heart

Moving slow in the blue light

Holding on to the ghost of you

Verse 2

Dusty grooves

Spinning around on the record plate

Silver horn notes climbing high

Folding silence into gold for me

One more smoky glass

Before I let the memories fade

Pre-Chorus

And the radio is playing that song

The one that keeps me holding on

Chorus

Smooth as the velvet night (night)

Sweet as the wine we shared (shared)

Deep as the rhythm goes

Let the music take the weight of my heart

Moving slow in the blue light

Holding on to the ghost of you

Bridge

Maybe it's the brass

Maybe it's the bass

Maybe it's the way you used to look at me

I feel the heat

I feel the hum

I feel the sting of what we used to be

Chorus

Smooth as the velvet night (night)

Sweet as the wine we shared (shared)

Deep as the rhythm goes

Let the music take the weight of my heart

Moving slow in the blue light

Holding on to the ghost of you
