On the first dark of the evening The sky turned tender blue The weather warm and easy Like the night I met you Was just strolling down The empty street Feeling lonely and blue From the bar room round the corner A few doors down the block I heard an old piano Hit a sorrowful note Reaching me and touching me Deep inside my soul Touch me softly, slow and blue Oh yeah A little slower every time, Umm umm Touch me deep piano blue And ease this aching heart of mine Going through the doorway Which was a weathered grey Heard voices of jobless drunkards Wasting another day Just wetting themselves and Filling the air With an atmosphere of decay In the dark farside corner On the keyboard gliding away Infatuated set of fingers In fluent brown they played Churning out blue melodies With never a pause or a break Reaching and touching me gently With every move they made Touch me softly, slow and blue, Oh yeah A little slower every time, Umm umm Touch me deep piano blue And ease this aching heart of mine Touch me softly, slow and blue, Oh yeah A little slower every time, Umm umm Touch me deep piano blue And ease this aching heart of mine Touch me softly, slow and blue, Oh yeah A little slower every time, Umm umm Touch me deep piano blue And ease this aching heart of mine
