Title: Calling From the Velvet Sky Verse 1 I left a message on the winds of the bay Where the ferries cut shadows through a silver gray I was young when the kingdom burned to rust Now I’m dialing ghosts with a telephone of dust Pre-Chorus All those dreams we stitched in leather and gold All those nights we swore the sky would unfold Chorus Hello from the velvet sky, I’m still the same boy who learned how to fly Through cigarette rain and the saints that we lied to Can you hear me call? Hello from the velvet sky, The crown’s long gone but the love won’t die I’m a flower in the dirt still singing for you Verse 2 You were the queen with the candlelight eyes We painted our names on the edge of paradise But the records cracked and the angels forgot How to dance on the wire when the circus stopped Pre-Chorus All those hearts we broke just to feel alive All the halos we tore from the morning sky Chorus Hello from the velvet sky, I’m still the same boy who learned how to fly Through cigarette rain and the saints that we lied to Can you hear me call? Hello from the velvet sky, The crown’s long gone but the love won’t die I’m a flower in the dirt still singing for you Bridge If you hear this song in the midnight glow Know I’d trade the fame for the heart I let go No palace, no throne — just a soul in the rain Trying to love you beyond the pain Outro Hello… hello… I’m a ghost in the garden where the stardust grows Hello… hello… Still calling, still falling, still chasing the rose
