Turn the Room Around

Verse 1

Midnight in the parlor

Candle on the grand

I count the hours in the shadows

Waiting for your hand

Pre-Chorus

Minuet and moonlight

Turn the room around

If I could find your rhythm

I'd never leave this town

Chorus

Oh the cadence, oh the clave

Dancing on the edge of a minor key

Oh the swing and the strings

Winding through a sonata made for me

Verse 2

Walking bass beneath the harpsichord

Brass that bends the air

I trace the counterpoint across the floor

And I follow everywhere

Pre-Chorus

Crescendo and release

A turn before the fall

If you would play it once again

I'd answer every call

Chorus

Oh the cadence, oh the clave

Dancing on the edge of a minor key

Oh the swing and the strings

Winding through a sonata made for me

Bridge

Fugue of amber hours

Polyphony of doubt

Staccato hearts and glissando sighs

Let the measure carry out

Chorus

Oh the cadence, oh the clave

Dancing on the edge of a minor key

Oh the swing and the strings

Winding through a sonata made for me
