Lyrics
[Intro] [Espresso Steam Wand Hiss & Cup on Saucer]
Twelve bar pressure on the brass machine
Best little coffee shop I've ever seen
[Verse 1] [Warm Rhodes Chords & Upright Bass]
Midnight cafe on the corner of the square
Dark roast aroma hanging in the air
Silver pitcher steaming up a velvet foam
Making a stranger feel completely home
Old wooden floorboards creak beneath my shoes
Sipping away the heavy evening blues
[Pre-Chorus] [Muted Trumpet & Brush Snare]
Rain is tapping on the awning ledge
Sitting right upon the counter edge
[Chorus] [Warm Sophisticated Neo-Soul Drop]
Steam hissing from the polished chrome wand
Forming a quiet and peaceful bond
Dark roast coffee in a ceramic cup
Warming the weary night-traveler up
Sip slow, breathe deep, let the rhythm flow
In the coziest sanctuary that I know
[Verse 2] [Guitar Strum & Snaps]
Barista hums a gentle melody
A quiet harmony for you and me
The streetlights blur outside the glass
Watching the silent midnight pass
[Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Run & Rhodes Solo]
Oh, let the trumpet play that bluesy phrase
I don't need a frantic commercial race
Just a cup of coffee and an honest friend
A peaceful night on which I can depend
[Chorus] [Full Grand Neo-Soul Climax]
Steam hissing from the polished chrome wand
Forming a quiet and peaceful bond
Dark roast coffee in a ceramic cup
Warming the weary night-traveler up
Sip slow, breathe deep, let the rhythm flow
In the coziest sanctuary that I know
[Outro] [Steam Hiss & Cup Set Down]
Espresso machine...
Warm and smooth.
[Fade Out]
