Velvet Doorway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left the key Under my book Three soft knocks Then you took a look The hall was still The vase was bright Your red coat slipped Into the night [Pre-Chorus] Keep your voice low Let the clock fade Melt into me By the shadowed shade One more step in Then close that door We know this script We've played it before [Chorus] Meet me there Behind the velvet door Meet me there Like we did before Keep it hush Let the whole room sway Meet me there And slip away (Meet me there) (behind the velvet door) [Verse 2] Your perfume stayed On my cuff and cheek A little lie That we both can keep The ice in our glass Made a quiet ring You traced my name Like a trembling string [Pre-Chorus] No grand scene Just your hand in mine One slow breath And we lose the time If they ask us We never came But your mouth says yes When you call my name [Chorus] Meet me there Behind the velvet door Meet me there Like we did before Keep it hush Let the whole room sway Meet me there And slip away (Meet me there) (behind the velvet door) [Bridge] Let morning wait Outside the glass We can be Whatever shadows pass A secret burns Then it turns to gold Hold me close Then let me go [Chorus] Meet me there Behind the velvet door Meet me there Like we did before Keep it hush Let the whole room sway Meet me there And slip away (Meet me there) (behind the velvet door)
