Velvet Hour

Paroles de « Velvet Hour »

Verse

The last train hummed its low descending note
We watched the doorframe where the shadows float
You rolled the sleeve of that grey wool cardigan
My breath is held in a quiet plane

Verse

The clock on the wall ticks a wooden beat
The kitchen wine sits on a ceramic plate
You trace the rim with your thumb and cheek
I listen to the silence that we make

Chorus

Only the lamp is burning bright
Only your hair in the yellow light
We do not need to say a word
Just the circle of the light

Chorus

Only the lamp is burning bright
Only your hair in the yellow light
We do not need to say a word
Just the circle of the light

Bridge

The tea has gone cold in the chipped blue cup
You turn the page and let the minutes lapse
I watch your shoulders drop from their height
Into the softness of the narrow night
A single glance across the linen sheet
The world outside has turned away from the heat

Outro

Let the filament glow on and on
We are not alone in this small room
Only the lamp is burning bright
Only your hair in the yellow light
