lyrics

Green Velvet Coat

There’s more in the words that you don’t say

Than there is that smile that you send

You always deny me In Your Green Velvet Coat

I’m aware when it’s not in the room

And I can feel when it’s coming on

Would you bait a perfect stranger just to watch me watch you down

I can’t seem to make up my mind

To walk away or take more of your sweet pain

Or tell you what’s really killing me in drunk and cryptic undertones

Envy is the color of his jacket

And the same goes for these eyes that burn

We were like fire in the lowlands

Oh the heat and the whir

We knew better and we minded our gap

Still we did wonder up to that rail awfully close

When we spoke of steppin’ up danger

And this weary track that we both chose

Always devising a plan in your

Your green velvet coat

Oh this ride won’t be over with too soon

It takes a thief to find her own kind

I rode with the master

I stepped down to the platform

I checked my bags and I could feel it go

Pull away train, pull away heart

Like a paid for ticket folded in half

And sittin’ in the breast pocket of that green velvet coat

We arrived our final destinations

But with how much grace in tact, from here its hard to say

Oh but I’ll remember a lot of things that were good enough about it

And I’ll remember his boyish face

Where I stand’s a long way

And I can still feel his goodbye hand

Oh but in my mind I’m still beside him

Where the rail parallels the road

And in my mind I’m still ridin’ along side his green velvet coat
