Velvet Tides

You left your scarf
On my chair
Blue thread fading
In the air

I hold the sleeve
Like a sign
Soft as rain
Across my mind

Stay a little
Longer here
Let the edges
Disappear

I can hear you
Through the wall
Little ghost steps
Down the hall

Velvet tides
Pull me in
Velvet tides
Let me bend

Hold me close
Then let me glow
Velvet tides
Don't let go

(Velvet tides)
(Velvet tides)

Your name sits
On my tongue
Like a song
Half-spun

Window glass
Fogs tonight
All my thoughts
Turn white

Stay a little
Longer here
Let the edges
Disappear

I can hear you
Through the wall
Little ghost steps
Down the hall

Velvet tides
Pull me in
Velvet tides
Let me bend

Hold me close
Then let me glow
Velvet tides
Don't let go

(Velvet tides)
(Velvet tides)

If I drift
Far from shore
Sing my shape
Once more

If I break
In the glow
Meet me where
The deep winds go

Velvet tides
Pull me in
Velvet tides
Let me bend

Hold me close
Then let me glow
Velvet tides
Don't let go

Velvet tides
Pull me in
Velvet tides
Let me bend

(Velvet tides)
