🌹Once Upon Midnight🌙

[Intro] [Verse 1] Once upon a midnight A woman sat alone Shivered in the pearls she wore And wondered where she’d gone Shadows gathered in the dark Across the velvet room A ticking clock, a beating heart A distant storm, a quiet purr Holding the haunting truth [Chorus] Empty hands and a heavy ledger Not enough to live, too much to let go All that love and all that effort Cocoon of silk, shadows of velvet [Post-Chorus] Heavy, empty Velvet, platinum Heavy, empty Silken, pearls [Verse 2] Once upon a lifetime She set out on her own Rode into the wild night With no one to depend on All the mothers said goodbye To daughters on the road An inner child, a savage storm The wide world and a mother’s warmth Holding the haunting truth [Chorus] Empty hands and a heavy ledger Not enough to live, too much to let go All that love and all that effort Cocoon of silk, shadows of velvet [Post-Chorus] Heavy, empty Velvet, platinum Heavy, empty Silken, pearls [Bridge] Once upon a late night A woman sat alone Warmed herself with silken dreams Of finding her way back home All the mothers call her name All the daughters knew Every daughter in the storm Will find the warmth of mother’s love And finally touch the truth [Chorus] Empty hands and a heavy ledger Not enough to live, too much to let go All that love and all that effort Cocoon of silk, shadows of velvet [Outro] Once upon a midnight Once upon a lifetime Cocoon of silk, shadows of velvet Finding her way home [End]
