Velvet Carpet Ride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found a rug by the door Dust on the fringe, gold on the floor You looked at me like, "What you waiting for?" So I kicked off my shoes And we slid through the room Your hand in mine, I felt the spin Silk under skin, let it begin The whole house shook when the wind came in And I laughed out loud As we lifted off the ground [Pre-Chorus] Up over the alley Over the yard Past the baker’s window Past the parked-up cars You said, "Hold me close" I said, "Baby, I will" The sky leaned low And time stood still [Chorus] Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride) Ride, ride, take me where the stars go by (take me there tonight) We can float all night With your name on my mind Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride) [Verse 2] We skimmed the roofline Touched the moon by a thread Saw your worries vanish Like a rumor said Your laugh was the breeze Your eyes were the flame Every town below us Kept calling your name We passed the river Silver and slow You stole my breath Then you let it go And when the first light Started painting the blue You said, "This is ours" And I said, "It’s true" [Pre-Chorus] Up over the alley Over the yard Past the baker’s window Past the parked-up cars You said, "Hold me close" I said, "Baby, I will" The sky leaned low And time stood still [Chorus] Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride) Ride, ride, take me where the stars go by (take me there tonight) We can float all night With your name on my mind Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride) [Bridge] If the world gets heavy If the road gets long We’ll fold up the hurt And keep moving on One more turn One more sky You and me, baby We were born to fly [Final Chorus] Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride) Ride, ride, take me where the stars go by (take me there tonight) We can float all night With your name on my mind Ride, ride, on the velvet carpet ride (velvet carpet ride)
