(Verse 1)
The moon is a sliver of bone in the sky
Watching the frantic world finally lie
Down in the covers, down in the dark
Away from the city, away from the spark
I’m wrapped in the shadows, a familiar lace
Feeling the cool of the night on my face.
(Chorus)
Listen to the velvet, the velvet night sighs
A soft benediction for tired eyes
The wind is a murmur, a secret, a plea
Folding its arms 'round the world and me
Everything’s tender, everything’s wise
When the velvet night sighs.
(Verse 2)
There’s a freedom in knowing that nobody sees
The way that I drift through the cedar trees
My worries are paper, thin and so small
I’m letting them scatter, I’m letting them fall
The air is like wine, heavy and sweet
Turning the bitter to something complete.
(Bridge)
In the indigo hours, the truth is so plain
We’re more than our losses, we’re more than our pain
It’s a fabric of silk, it’s a blanket of blue
Holding the old and inviting the new
Just breathe...
Just be...
(Chorus)
Listen to the velvet, the velvet night sighs
A soft benediction for tired eyes
The wind is a murmur, a secret, a plea
Folding its arms 'round the world and me
Everything’s tender, everything’s wise
When the velvet night sighs.
(Outro)
Soft as a feather...
Dark as a dream...
The night is much kinder...
Than it would seem.
