Your Velvet Dress

from Answers (EP) by Chris Ho

/

lyrics

Looking back down the road, I see you walking behind me, dressed for the winter even though the sun shines. Your face is black with the coal from below, I want to clean your velvet dress so that the dust doesn't linger in your throat when you sing.

The pavement doesn't feel your footsteps when you're walking on them. It's not that people don't notice, they're just looking right through you. They're the ones who can get right through the day doing work for someone else - you didn't understand why they bothered.

So where do you go now to drown all your sorrows?
Let me know if you need to borrow my love to set you free.
Do you know how the sun goes down in Barcelona?
Let me know if you're ever gonna' be fine.

Looking back in the past, I see you walking beside me. You've got a red rose in your hair, I see the thorns sticking out. Your voice is cold but your mouth breaths fire, I want to tame your velvet tongue, so that we can fly down the meadows like hummingbirds. And we'll go...

So where do you go now to drown all your sorrows?
Let me know if you need to borrow my love to set you free.
Do you know how the sun goes down in Barcelona?
Let me know if you're ever gonna' be fine.
