Velvet Carpet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You rolled up late in gold Bare feet, black velvet fold One look and I was sold Like a secret I was told You said, "Hop in, hold on tight" That rug came up alive We hit the door, took flight Past the mango trees and kites [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it leaned like a wave Oh, it knew my name The whole sky made room When you pulled me through [Chorus] Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride Take me where you go Let the whole night glide Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride You and me up high On a magic carpet ride [Verse 2] We skimmed over red clay roofs Over drums and midnight fruit Your laugh cut clean and sweet In the hot street heat Palm trees clapped below Moon hung low and slow You said, "Don't let go" And the wind said, "Go" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it leaned like a wave Oh, it knew my name The whole sky made room When you pulled me through [Chorus] Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride Take me where you go Let the whole night glide Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride You and me up high On a magic carpet ride [Bridge] Spin me over the water Spin me over the fire I been waiting on wonder You been lifting me higher [Chorus] Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride Take me where you go Let the whole night glide Magic carpet ride Magic carpet ride You and me up high On a magic carpet ride
