Dark and Velvet Nights

[00:35.11] I didn't think that this could be
[00:40.54] All that unto death do we
[00:44.66] 'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key
[00:49.52] After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy
[00:54.82] It's softer than words that are spoken
[01:00.03] Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn
[01:04.82] Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken
[01:09.88] Branches beckoned along the wrong path
[01:15.33] Winding up in the past
[01:20.53] And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
[01:30.74] This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
[01:39.78] It's softer than words that are spoken
[01:44.95] Or painted as slogans and flung to the lions
[01:50.29] Written on slips as the punters wait smoking
[01:55.64] A leap of faith, the odds sky-high
[01:59.89] Said goodbye to your place or mine
[02:06.18] Don't like to make promises that I can't keep
[02:16.28] Don't want to hurt this old heart or wreck my sleep
[02:24.18] Thinking how will we part?
[02:27.80] Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?
[02:34.34] Between this breath and then
[02:38.38] There's this airlock of time
[02:44.16] This airlock of time
[02:56.56] And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
[03:06.62] This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
[03:15.64] It's softer than words that were spoken
[03:20.52] In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
[03:25.87] Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
[03:31.01] No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night
[03:38.95]
