[Verse 1] We slipped out kind of late Under a velvet sky Your hand found mine so easy Like it knew the reason why The corner bistro glowed Through rain on window glass You laughed at my red heels As we let the taxi pass [Pre-Chorus] The band was already warm From a room down the block And every step you took Made my careful heartbeat talk [Chorus] Midnight on Mercer You and me, all right Midnight on Mercer Hold me through the night Midnight on Mercer Darlin’, stay in time Midnight on Mercer You’re the tune I find (ooh) [Verse 2] We took the long way home Past a fruit stand and a gate Your coat smelled like the wind And a little like our fate A saxophone escaped From a doorway on the left You smiled like you’d been waiting For that note to leave your chest [Pre-Chorus] The moon wore silver shoes On the mirrored avenue You said, “Don’t let this end” And I said, “I’m with you” [Chorus] Midnight on Mercer You and me, all right Midnight on Mercer Hold me through the night Midnight on Mercer Darlin’, stay in time Midnight on Mercer You’re the tune I find (ooh) [Bridge] Let the last train go We’ve got one more round Let the whole town hush Let it lean in around us now If the dawn comes fast Let it wait outside I found a love in motion In your steady stride [Chorus] Midnight on Mercer You and me, all right Midnight on Mercer Hold me through the night Midnight on Mercer Darlin’, stay in time Midnight on Mercer You’re the tune I find (ooh)
