Listen to the wind and water passing by
The trail leads me down where water meets the sky
Footprints in the sand tell me where I've been
And where I begin
The breeze caresses my mind with a velvet touch
The water flows like the blood in my veins in a rush
The sunlight falls on my face, warms my skin
Feeds me from within
My soul's medicine
High up in the trees the cradle, it will rock
Lord just don't let me fall
And possibly by accident, the key fell in the lock
Mother Nature won't you please help us all
Perched upon a stone, surrounded by your grace
All the elements seem to fall in place
Become as one with the heartbeat of the land
Feel my mind expand
As I take my stand
High up in the trees the cradle, it will rock
Lord just don't let me fall
And possibly by accident, the key fell in the lock
Mother Nature won't you please help us all

Velvet and lace smile on my face
Going for broke tonight
Leather and love fits like a glove
The drinks are all all alright
The cats out the bag and the rules don't apply
No time for dreaming up an alibi
Do now or die reach do for the sky
Three two one..
Long road right time
Down below next stop paradise
Dance floor suicide
Time to go next stop Paradise
Mission at hand, dance in the sand
Going for gold tonight
Stars shine above to cradle our love
Glowing and burning bright
The cats out the bag and the rules don't apply
No time for thinking or weak alibis
Do now or die Reach do for the sky
Three two one..

Find the light inside
Even when it's hard to see
Not always easy
We aim to be free
Just the way we want to be
Light the way for flight
Moon shine star light
Burning strong tonight
Bright glow moonlight
We shine like fireflies
Dance floor, night skies
We shine like fireflies
Reflect on our place
Search for something more
Smiles and keeping others safe
What ever’s in store
Just the way we want to be
Light the way for flight
Moon shine star light
Burning strong tonight

and I still believe it’s true
that the glass the sand runs through
it's the cheapest trick of light
and I keep falling for the sleight
keep falling for the sleight
when I came to find my place
it was a summer's state of grace
thought we'd cornered some new truth
in the cradle of our youth
the cradle of our youth
if the well’s still dry by the end of spring
then there ain’t nothing left but to sell your ring
momma told me not to go but the stakes were too high
and I don’t wanna see the look in her eyes
when I come back home
what made you think you had the choice
somebody needs to hear your voice
or did you think you'd beat the odds
you never feared you'd wake the gods
feared you'd wake the gods
it's the promise that you've blown
the velvet hides the bone
another day and then
the river's crossed again
the river's crossed again
if the well’s still dry by the end of spring
then there ain’t nothing left but to sell your ring
momma told me not to go but the stakes were too high
and I don’t wanna see the look in her eyes
when I come back home

move the pen to spark a chance
but these words refuse to dance
it’s been that way so long
only singing drinking songs
singing drinking songs
how you followed me so far
crossed the state in a Pullman car
in your finest muslin dress
had my doubts, I must confess
I had my doubts
if the well’s still dry by the end of spring
then there ain’t nothing left but to sell your ring
momma told me not to go but the stakes were high
and I don’t wanna see the look in her eyes
when I come back home
played apprentice, learned the ways
I knew the dangers and cliches
had a picture in my mind
it was a goal, not a warning sign
not a warning sign
it used to come for free
I thought it came from me
with the first editions bound
all those sweet temptations found
sweet temptations found
if the well’s still dry by the end of spring
then there ain’t nothing left but to sell your ring
momma told me not to go but the stakes were high
and I don’t wanna see the look in her eyes
when I come back home
what made me think I had the choice
somebody needs to hear my voice
or did I think I'd beat the odds
never feared I'd wake the gods
feared I'd wake the gods
the greatest tale I sold
was the one where you did what I told
I held you as a muse
all you ended up was used
ended up was used
if the well’s still dry by the end of spring
then there ain’t nothing left but to sell your ring
momma told me not to go but the stakes were high
and I don’t wanna see the look in her eyes
when I come back home

Come with me down to the velvet sea
We’ll leave the race and move at a slower pace
Staircase sliding down where vaults of dreams await
Sailboat gliding through the bounds of time and space
Like the brightest falling star
When the light cuts through the dark
Everything we lose, it’s not hard to understand
Everything we do
Vanishes like footprints in the sand
Come with me down to the velvet sea
Where we can be far from the dead end streets
Drinking moonlight shining on all there is to see
Lost in hindsight pining for all that’s yet to be
Like the brightest falling star
When the light cuts through the dark
Everything we lose, it’s not hard to understand
Everything we do
Vanishes like footprints in the sand
You and I under a velvet sky
Killing time, feeling sublime
Fresh from the cradle we were pure and free of guile
Young and able we were lost in love’s perfume just for a while

Come with me down to the velvet sea
Leave the race and move at a slower pace
Staircase sliding down where vaults of dreams await
Sailboat gliding through the bounds of time and space
Time and space
Like the brightest falling star
We will burn right through the dark
Come with me down to the velvet sea
Where we can be far from the dead end streets
Taste the moonlight dining on thoughts so fancy-free
Feel the twilight pining for all that’s yet to be
Yet to be
Like the brightest falling star
We will burn right through the dark
We are not afraid
Living our dreams out loud
Burning out
You and I under a velvet sky
Tucked in close flying so high
Fresh from the cradle pure and faultless as a child
Young and able getting lost in love’s embrace just for a while
Like the brightest falling star
We will burn right through the dark
We are not afraid
Living our dreams out loud
We will never fade
Soaring above the clouds
Burning out
