Velvet Skies

Faded clouds weave their magic
On velvet skies of yesterday
Take a ride on the flying carpet
Dare to dream for a while
Of handsome princes and buxom princesses with flaxen hair
And eyes of blue.

In the velvet sky, life shines through the cracks, the devil has no place here
You can find him cowering in the depths of your mind, leave it behind and dream for a while.

Don't be afraid to take his hand
Catch your breath as he kisses you
Just dream for a while
Ride the magic carpet through the velvet skies.

Yet she still stands in the ashes of yesterday
Barbed wire memories piercing her mind
The blood still spills, yet momma left without closing the back door.

Take a magic carpet ride
Through the velvet skies
Dare to dream a while...
