VELVET HOURS

By Vera Von Monika

Verse 1
Midnight settles over steel and glass,
city streets stretch like quiet rivers.
Footsteps fall, measured, deliberate,
as if tracing the shape of unseen truths.
A distant piano shivers through the fog,
its resonance folding into the night.

Pre-Chorus
Time slows, each moment suspended,
a fragile weight pressing against the chest.
Breaths align with streetlights,
a rhythm unclaimed, unspoken.

Chorus
Velvet hours, cradle the world asleep,
let shadows speak the words we keep.
Through alleys dim and towers tall,
carry the weight of everything we recall.
Velvet hours, pull me into your sway,
where silence becomes a language we obey.

Verse 2
Rain threads along metal rooftops,
each drop a reflection of what once was.
Wind coils through narrow lanes,
stirring faint memories, distant and sharp.
The night whispers not in sound,
but in the space between thought and feeling.

Pre-Chorus
Every flicker of neon,
every shimmer along wet stone,
traces paths we cannot name,
paths that wind through our hidden selves.

Chorus
Velvet hours, cradle the world asleep,
let shadows speak the words we keep.
Through alleys dim and towers tall,
carry the weight of everything we recall.
Velvet hours, pull me into your sway,
where silence becomes a language we obey.

Bridge
Strings quiver under moonlight,
folding stories we cannot touch.
Each glance at the skyline
holds the gravity of unspoken confessions.
The city exhales around us,
and still, we remain suspended,
entwined in the quiet geometry of night.

Final Chorus
Velvet hours, cradle the world asleep,
let shadows speak the words we keep.
Through alleys dim and towers tall,
carry the weight of everything we recall.
Velvet hours, pull me into your sway,
where silence becomes a language we obey.

Outro
The night dissolves in soft silver haze,
and I drift within the pulse of the city,
held only by the velvet of its hours.
