Velvet Echoes [Intro] (shhhhhh... don't speak) [Verse 1] The city lights... are turning blue... Just like the memory... of you... I’m walking through... the velvet haze... Still lost inside... your hollow gaze... [Pre-Chorus] And where’s the fire now? The one that used to burn... I’m waiting for the tide to break... With every lesson left to learn... My heart is just a desert dry... Underneath the lonely sky... [Chorus] Oh, it’s the ghost of a whisper... tearing me apart... Taking every piece of rhythm... from a broken heart... (shhhhhh... listen!) But if you don’t come back... if you don’t bring the light... There’s nobody left to hold me... in the middle of the night... [Verse 2] I hear your echo on the wind... The place where you and I begin... A silver shadow on the floor... I don’t belong here anymore... [Bridge] Oh, it’s a long way home... But I don’t mind the quiet... As long as you are near... [Chorus] Oh, it’s the ghost of a whisper... tearing me apart... Taking every piece of rhythm... from a broken heart... But if you don’t come back... if you don’t bring the light... There’s nobody left to hold me... in the middle of the night... [Outro] (shhhhhh... trailing off) (In the starlight...)
