[Verse 1] It came through the curtain seam Like a secret learned in sleep Soft as silk on my skin Pulling me in, pulling me in Your color on the windowpane Pale gold in a purple frame I held my breath, I held still Till it touched me, till it did [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know where you go When the dark gets loud But you bloom so slow Right through the crowd [Chorus] Velvet glow, velvet glow Stay on my skin, don't let me go Velvet glow, velvet glow You make the hush feel like home Velvet glow, velvet glow Sweet little fire under snow Velvet glow, velvet glow I follow you wherever you go [Verse 2] Now the room has changed its name Since you lit up the rafters Even my shadow looks A little softer after I used to chase the sharp edge Used to live on the bare wire Now I want that tender burn That quiet, quiet fire [Pre-Chorus] And I don't need it explained I can feel it now Like a pulse in the rain A slow, holy sound [Chorus] Velvet glow, velvet glow Stay on my skin, don't let me go Velvet glow, velvet glow You make the hush feel like home Velvet glow, velvet glow Sweet little fire under snow Velvet glow, velvet glow I follow you wherever you go [Bridge] If you fade, I still know How your gold makes me whole In the fold of the dark You were never far [Final Chorus] Velvet glow, velvet glow Stay on my skin, don't let me go Velvet glow, velvet glow You make the hush feel like home Velvet glow, velvet glow Sweet little fire under snow Velvet glow, velvet glow I follow you wherever you go
