[Verse 1] Take my hand past the glass and the brass, Where the garden leans into the afternoon. Marigolds loosen their gold in the wind, And the willow keeps time with a silver moon. [Chorus] Velvet marigold skies, Let the day fall quiet in your eyes. We can drift where the old clocks sway, Hold me close; we don't have to name the way. [Verse 2] Strawberry rain on the windowpane, Little bright colors turning upside down. Somewhere a song wanders soft through the blue, While worn-out shoes leave dust on the ground. [Chorus] Velvet marigold skies, Let the day fall quiet in your eyes. We can drift where the old clocks sway, Hold me close; we don't have to name the way. [Bridge] When the clouds draw breath and the moon turns slow, Stay beside me; there's nowhere to go. Round the bend where the years unwind, Your hand is warm inside of mine. [Verse 3] Violet clouds over forgotten towns, A river of colors carries us through. The night grows still, the far stars gather, And every strange road leads me back to you. [Final Chorus] Velvet marigold skies, Let the day fall quiet in your eyes. We can drift where the old clocks sway, Hold me close; we don't have to name the way. [Outro] Fade away, the garden grows dim, A little gold at the edge of the day. Carry me home, carry me home, Where the dreamers can stay.
