Velvet Leaves

(专辑： In Praise Of Shadows - 2021)

Stood in your last breath, couldn't believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton, faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret, you were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear coulda made me cry

And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you

Gotta stay strong for the little one who found you in your room
Gotta stay strong for our Mumma who would take the blame however true
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn't choose
I broke down outside the room

And I'm praying you survive

And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you

Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl
