Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Ice clinks in the glass Shadows start to pass Neon starts to fade In this velvet masquerade The trumpet starts to moan I’m sitting here alone [Pre-Chorus] She’s sitting in the corner light She’s folding up her heavy plight A crumpled page of blue and white She’s preparing for a flight [Chorus] Oh, let it fly Into the velvet sky A paper wing so high A silent, soft goodbye It hits the window pane And drifts into the rain [Post-Chorus] Drifting through the gray Washing all the words away Bourbon on my tongue Songs that I have sung [Break] [Verse] I’ve outgrown the reckless heat The bitter and the sweet But watching how it glides Where the lonely spirit hides It makes me want to feel Something sharp and real [Pre-Chorus] She opens up the heavy door She doesn't want it anymore She lets the little pilot soar Above the city’s roar [Chorus] Oh, let it fly Into the velvet sky A paper wing so high A silent, soft goodbye It hits the window pane And drifts into the rain [Bridge] Muted brass and steady bass Smoke is blurring out her face A reckless love I used to know A long, long time ago Now I’m just a ghost in here Sipping on a quiet fear [Solo] [Chorus] Oh, let it fly Into the velvet sky A paper wing so high A silent, soft goodbye It hits the window pane And drifts into the rain [Outro]
