歌詞

I found you by the velvet door

With a grin like trouble, nothing more

Your heel tapped once, then twice, then slow

Like you knew the way this night would go

The waiter stared, the ashtray glowed

My glass had lipstick on the rim it showed

You said, "Come dance, don't think, just lean"

And every blink turned half a scene

Spin me once, then pull me near

Let that old brass line disappear

The floorboards creak, the room holds still

My name goes soft against your will

Blue moon tango, hold me tight

Blue moon tango, all night

Blue moon tango, make me sway

Take my breath and twirl away

Twirl away

Blue moon tango, red wine spark

Blue moon tango, in the dark

Blue moon tango, one more round

Till my heart hits the ground

Hits the ground

Your collar caught a trace of smoke

Your laugh came out in silk and spoke

The clarinet curved round my skin

Like it knew the place my fear had been

I wore my trouble like a charm

You wore your silence like a warm, bare arm

Then heel to toe, we made our vow

Not to ask the when or how

Spin me once, then pull me near

Let that old brass line disappear

The strings climb up, the tension climbs

I lose my doubt in borrowed time

Blue moon tango, hold me tight

Blue moon tango, all night

Blue moon tango, make me sway

Take my breath and twirl away

Twirl away

Blue moon tango, red wine spark

Blue moon tango, in the dark

Blue moon tango, one more round

Till my heart hits the ground

Hits the ground

Now the room is only you and me

And the moon on the balcony

If I fall, let me fall this way

Wrapped in your hands till dawn turns gray

Blue moon tango, hold me tight

Blue moon tango, all night

Blue moon tango, make me sway

Take my breath and twirl away

Twirl away

Blue moon tango, red wine spark

Blue moon tango, in the dark

Blue moon tango, one more round

Till my heart hits the ground

Hits the ground
