Velvet Leaves

Stood in your last breath Couldn't believe it was gone And that weighed a ton Faced with the first death Steeped in plain regret You were a sight for sorest eyes Every word you spoke I swear Coulda made me cry And in this dream we fall Through velvet leaves Ushered in reverse Through the silk-like purse Outstretching, unending Except for the ends of you Gotta stay strong for the little one, yeah Who found you in your room Gotta stay strong for our mama who Would take the blame however true, yeah Into the room in which you threatened to depart Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night When we nearly couldn't choose, yeah I broke down outside the room And I'm praying you survive And in this dream we fall Through velvet leaves Ushered in reverse Through the silk-like purse Outstretching, unending Except for the ends of you Except for the ends of you Where's that little girl I knew? Except for the ends of you Where's that little girl I knew? Except for the ends of you Where's that little girl I knew? Except for the ends of you Where's that little girl I knew?
