some velvet morning

some velvet mornin' when i'm straight

i'm gonna open up your gate

and maybe tell you 'bout phaedra

and how she gave me life

and how she made it end

some velvet mornin' when i'm straight

flowers growing on a hill

dragonflies and daffodils

learn from us very much

look at us but do not touch

phaedra is my name

some velvet mornin' when i'm straight

i'm gonna open up your gate

and maybe tell you 'bout phaedra

and how she gave me life

and how she made it end

some velvet mornin' when i'm straight

flowers are the things we know

secrets are the things we grow

learn from us very much

look at us but do not touch

phaedra is my name

some velvet mornin' when i'm straight

flowers growing on a hill

i'm gonna open up your gate

dragonflies and daffodils

and maybe tell you 'bout phaedra

learn from us very much

and how she gave me life

look at us but do not touch

and how she made it end
