Ugh, I've been really sick most of the week. Had undiagnosed strep throat, finally got antibiotics on Friday night which made me feel even worse! Today, Sunday, is the first day that I've started feeling better. So this is a bit of a rush job from today. Not what I'd wanted but it's all I could do. I changed the lyrics a bit, the chorus is different, and I played with the structure a little. I almost crapped out this week! I really thought I wouldn't make it.
lyrics
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
