lyrics

Hold you close,
My velveteen.
I’ve been dying to know you.
In the endless space between,
I’ll crawl and claw the distance to your view.

Outstretched as a rubber band.
Caught up in the milieu,
Blisters on my battered hands,
The sun upon the rooftop,
Coming through.

But I am not a fighter,
I am no one’s fool,
The road’s a little bit brighter
When I’m sharing it with you.

Peel back all’ve your skin my dear,
Find what beats inside you,
Let the tones flow through your ears
And resonate your pillowed pate, renewed.






















I’m a wintery ghost, I fear
But I can smell the springtime,
Something sweet that’s coming near,
To penetrate my snowy state of mind.

But I am not a fighter,
I am no one’s fool.
The load’s a little bit lighter
When I’m sharing it with you.

Lay you down, oh velveteen.
I can hear the moonlight.
Perfume from the foam-topped seas.
To look upon, behind your sleeping eyes.
