Velvet Leaves
Stood in your last breath
Couldn't believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton
Faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret
You were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear
Coulda made me cry
And in this dream we fall
Through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse
Through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending
Except for the ends of you
Gotta stay strong for the little one, yeah
Who found you in your room
Gotta stay strong for our mama who
Would take the blame however true, yeah
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn't choose, yeah
I broke down outside the room
And I'm praying you survive
And in this dream we fall
Through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse
Through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending
Except for the ends of you
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Couldn't believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton
Faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret
You were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear
Coulda made me cry
And in this dream we fall
Through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse
Through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending
Except for the ends of you
Gotta stay strong for the little one, yeah
Who found you in your room
Gotta stay strong for our mama who
Would take the blame however true, yeah
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn't choose, yeah
I broke down outside the room
And I'm praying you survive
And in this dream we fall
Through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse
Through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending
Except for the ends of you
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
Except for the ends of you
Where's that little girl I knew?
