A vocal-led Lagos Jazz chapter in Adaeze Gray's Tables After Closing sequence, built around a blue cup cools beside the piano's upper register.
[Verse 1]
A blue cup cools beside the piano's upper register.
The street keeps breathing underneath the measured sound.
I keep my hands steady and listen for the change.
[Pre-Chorus]
Your name lands softly between two altered chords.
I name what matters and release what does not.
[Chorus]
Blue Cup on the Piano, stay with me through the turning.
Blue Cup on the Piano, say the thing the dark could not erase.
Leave one clear light for the road ahead.
We will know the way by how the last word lands.
[Verse 2]
The hour moves forward, leaving room around the truth.
I meet it without hurry, without dressing it in gold.
What was only distance becomes a road beneath us.
What was only silence finds a voice and finds a home.
[Bridge]
No borrowed thunder, no convenient ending.
Only breath, only ground, only one clear name.
[Final Chorus]
Blue Cup on the Piano, stay with me through the turning.
Leave one clear light for the road ahead.
We will know the way by how the last word lands.
