I actually worked on a totally different song until yesterday when I decided it just wasn't gonna happen. So I went back to my first idea - this one- and cobbled some words together this afternoon. I was really afraid I wasn't gonna make it this week! But I managed to squeak by.
lyrics
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
