Velvet Gloves & Spit

I could not release the inspiration till you asked me to

Came at your body relentlessly throughout the year

Or too far away to nearly show this honeymoon

I was a stranger too familiar and not enough

But I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face

I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace

And I wanted nothing else

The haunted hotel room, the two-bit manchild

I could not simply fall asleep next to you every night

Our castle in the sand, built too high too soon

And under waving palms and waving sails and waves

Goodbye

But I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face

I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace

Oh, I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face

And I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace

And I wanted nothing else
