Velvet Rain

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold glass against my cheek
Words we didn't speak
Blue light on the floor
I don't live there anymore
Raindrops trace a silver line
Frozen in a dream of mine
[Chorus]
Slow motion on the bus
Just the ghost of us
A smile in the haze
Lost in golden days
You were almost mine
Crossed a blurry line
Softly drifting by
Underneath the golden sky
[Post-Chorus]
Like a velvet sea
Washing over me
Set the spirit free
Just a memory
[Verse]
Candy wrapper in your hand
Things I didn't plan
Silver crinkle in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Thirty years have slipped away
Like the ending of a play
Still I see your quiet face
In this velvet, hollow space
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunlight through the frost
Everything we lost
Turning into gold
Stories left untold
[Chorus]
Slow motion on the bus
Just the ghost of us
A smile in the haze
Lost in golden days
You were almost mine
Crossed a blurry line
Softly drifting by
Underneath the golden sky
[Bridge]
Floating in the deep
Halfway into sleep
Weightless as a sigh
Watch the world go by
Sunlight through the frosted pane
Healing all the hidden pain
[Chorus]
Slow motion on the bus
Just the ghost of us
A smile in the haze
Lost in golden days
You were almost mine
Crossed a blurry line
Softly drifting by
Underneath the golden sky
[Post-Chorus]
Like a velvet sea
Washing over me
Set the spirit free
Just a memory
[Outro]
