Lyrics:

You think you might wanna stray
Let the cool guy lead your way
As he's making his presence in your night
But how strange this feeling of walking together

But now you're feeling unsure
Could this possibly lead to something more
You remember times you turned away
From every inviting gaze
But how strange this feeling of being together

Lay it down just play it wise
Love all over you
Whatever you'll find
It's such a strange delight

Lay it down just play it wise
Love all over you
Whatever you'll find

Just break 'm down
Those walls of illusion
Feel his soothing hands
He'll make it all better
It's such a strange delight

A very different, sound to your voice here...now its me thinking of Leonard Cohen ( hat tipped down over his eyes) singing those opening lines!
The gypsy guitar is really good.

I was looking for a good soloist for the song, initially I wanted an acoustic guitar solo, that didn't work as expected and then I stumbled onto the 2605 JazzRockShuffle soloist. I hadn't heard it before but it works great, probably also on general pop songs.

Speaking of Leonard Cohen, I did a live cover of his most famous song:
