lyrics

Long coat for her white legs with a
Blue note, she begs
And it's velvet like the way
She clears her throat, you know

High-gloss, toupées
Embossed, get paid
And it's velvet like the rain
That washed his heart away

And if he had the weather on a string
He would take the time
To puppeteer the sunny and the stormy days

And if she had the ocean on a chain
She would pull the tides back from the bay
And walk the land they used to hide away

Lighthouse in a sandstorm
White blouse with one sleeve torn
And it's velvet like the child who may soon be born

Finally time has
Worn your mind down
Like a beach
Coasts can change and
Rearrange old memories
