Late at night I left my room Didn’t know where I was going Didn’t need to know Down the street Under silver lights Something whispered Come a little closer I saw her standing Where the shadows meet Red velvet dress And dangerous eyes She smiled at me Like she knew my name Like she’d been waiting For me all night Come with me Don’t be afraid Come with me You know you want to stay Red velvet woman Moving in the dark Red velvet woman She knows where to start She opened the door And the room was red No moon No morning Just the sound of her breath A little man With a candle in his hand Led me somewhere I didn’t understand Then suddenly I’m sitting at a bar Whiskey on the table Nothing in my hands The lights go down The stage comes alive And there she is Singing just for me Red velvet woman Sing me into the night Red velvet woman Take away the light Her voice moves slow Through the smoke and blue I close my eyes And disappear into you I woke up Somewhere I don’t know Can’t move my body Can’t let you go Your arms around me Your lips near mine I try to speak But I can’t find the words Am I dreaming? Am I dying? Does it matter If the dream feels right? Red velvet woman Don’t let me wake Red velvet woman Give me one more taste Red velvet woman Red velvet woman I hear you singing Somewhere in the night Red velvet woman Behind the trees The moon is shining And she’s calling me Come with me Don’t be afraid Come with me You know you want to stay Red velvet woman Take me away
