Elara Raye - When The City Sleeps (Original Mix)

A place between sand and ocean. A feeling that stays a little longer. Music for the endless blue. #deephouse #latenightvibes #deepmusic #electronicmusic Lyrics: The store sign flickers blue on an empty block of glass My footsteps sound like questions I don’t know how to ask A laundromat still turning like it can’t admit it’s late And I watch my own reflection try to disappear in place Then the corner goes quiet and the air feels new Like the night has an address and it finally let me through When the city sleeps, I wake to the life behind the walls A thousand small departures moving soft through hidden halls If I’ve been lost, I’m learning even shadows have a name When the city sleeps, I’m not alone I can feel the dark rearrange A bus stop bench remembers every hand that held its edge A folded note in my pocket kept for months and never sent The moon hangs over rooftops like a coin I can’t quite spend And I feel my heart go tender for the versions I left then There’s a light inside a window I don’t need to know Just enough to keep believing something blooms below When the city sleeps, I wake to the life behind the walls A thousand small departures moving soft through hidden halls If I’ve been lost, I’m learning even shadows have a name When the city sleeps, I’m not alone I can feel the dark rearrange Maybe healing is a doorway you don’t see until it opens Maybe mercy is a taxi going slowly through the cold I have carried what was broken like a glass that caught the dawn Now the pieces in my hands shine with more than what was gone When the city sleeps, I wake to the life behind the walls A thousand small departures moving soft through hidden halls If I’ve been lost, I’m learning even shadows have a name When the city sleeps, I’m not alone I can feel the dark rearrange And morning comes unguarded through the seam of every store But I keep a little midnight like a key beneath the floor
