Red, Cream And Velvet

(album: In London For Tea - 1967)

A day is a-coming when the clouds hide the sunshine
Rains pouring in and they're flooding your ground
And the leaves on your trees fall as fast as you count them
You cry for help but there's no one around

The road that you walk on is long and depressing
The flame from your candle blows out in the wind
And the flowers by your roadside are rapidly fading
You're looking for love you will never find him

You'll carry on walking but you'll hinder your breathing
Your body and your mind they should be in the sky
'Cause you're trying so hard not to be overtaken
You'll lose in the end and you'll burn out inside

Then someday your sunshine will break through your cloud line
Red, cream and velvet will come from the sea
And the road that you walk on won't seem so depressing
You'll come to a gate and behind it see me
