Into the Velvet Night [SSC8, Japan]

lalala lalala lalala No sound, no whisper, no breeze Just the hum of the earth beneath my knees The stars don’t blink they just stare The weight of the quiet hangs in the air The stars don’t blink they hold their breath A quiet hum fills up the depth And I let go and I let go The night falls quiet like a whispered breeze Stars are winking through the skeletal trees I hear the echoes of the steps we’ve traced But they fade (they fade) mm The moon keeps secrets it will never tell A silver coin in a wishing well Time unravels like a thread too tight And we drift (we drift) Into the velvet night No sound, no ticking, no time A stillness that swallows the climb I reach for the echo but it won’t reply No sound remains as the night waves goodbye The sky fades to gray no words to say Footsteps dissolve into the air A whisper here a shadow there The night falls quiet like a whispered breeze Stars are winking through the skeletal trees I hear the echoes of the steps we’ve traced But they fade (they fade) mm The moon keeps secrets it will never tell A silver coin in a wishing well Time unravels like a thread too tight And we drift (we drift) Into the velvet night Goodbye feels so small It’s nothing at all A word that dissolves into you The night falls quiet like a whispered breeze Stars are winking through the skeletal trees I hear the echoes of the steps we’ve traced But they fade (they fade)
