Velvet Sky
[Intro: [*WIND CHIMES*] Ambient syncopated synth pads with distant reverb guitar swells, soft wind-like textures] Shadows drifting through the night (ahh—ahh) Silver voices out of sight [Verse] Moonlight spills on empty rooms Dust and lace, forgotten tunes Every whisper feels like you Calling from a dream I knew Fading footsteps down the hall Your silhouette against the wall Time dissolves in soft delay Every word you couldn’t say [Instrumental texture: shimmering syncopated guitar arpeggios with heavy delay and reverse reverb] [Chorus] We were floating in a velvet sky Hearts like echoes, passing by Hold me in the afterglow Where the quiet spirits go We were drifting, you and I Lost between the lows and highs Say my name, don’t let it fade In this dream we never saved (never saved, never saved) [Verse] Candles burn in colored glass Moments slipping, never last Your voice lingers in the air Like a ghost that’s always there Soft confessions, bittersweet Rhythms slow beneath my feet Every note begins to bend Like a story with no end [Instrumental swell: ambient synth rise with distant harmonic vocals] [Chorus] We were floating in a velvet sky Hearts like echoes, passing by Hold me in the afterglow Where the quiet spirits go We were drifting, you and I Lost between the lows and highs Say my name, don’t let it fade In this dream we never saved (never saved, never saved) [Bridge] [Baroque guitar solo: intricate fingerpicked melody layered with lush violins] No more words, just harmony Strings that pull inside of me Every note becomes the truth Of a love we couldn’t prove (Violins swell, guitar echoes spiral outward) [Chorus] We were floating in a velvet sky Hearts like echoes, passing by Hold me in the afterglow Where the quiet spirits go We were drifting, you and I Lost between the lows and highs Say my name, don’t let it fade In this dream we never saved (never saved, never saved) [Outro: Spacey synth wash with long echo tails, fading guitar feedback, distant vocal harmonies] In the silence, you remain (you remain, you remain) Like a star without a name [*WIND CHIMES*] [end]
