velvet

here i walk

an empty shell even though

it's hard to tell this lonesome hand

it's taken its toll

i just don't know how far it can go

well come down and watch your first step

don't do anything you might regret

cause you're much too innocent to suffer

it wasn't all sunny days

picking through your memories

the rain came down and you covered me in velvet

oh you covered me in velvet

there you are

like a song i heard

in a smoky bar where the whiskey stirred

just like my heart

it's dancing alone

and it seems like it just won't ever end

well come down and watch your first step

don't do anything you might regret

cause you're just much too innocent to suffer

it wasn't all sunny days

picking through your memories

the rain came down and you covered me in velvet

oh you covered me in velvet

another turn

another cautious step

will we ever learn just how lonesome can get

you caught me running

running away

and i just don't know how long i can stay

well come down and watch your first step

don't do anything you might regret

cause you're much too innocent to suffer

and it wasn't all sunny days

picking through your memories

the rain came down and you covered me in velvet

oh you covered me in velvet

oh you covered me in velvet

in velvet

in velvet
