david gilmour - dark and velvet nights lyrics

[verse 1]
i didn’t think that this could be
all that unto death do we
’til you managed the lock and magicked the key
after night of hard drinking and ecstasy

[chorus 1]
it’s softer than words that are spoken
blackened on paper that’s shredded and torn
or carved into stones lying shattered and broken
branches beckoned a long, long path
winding up in the past

[verse 2]
and this dark and velvet night
that surrounds us
this dark and velvet night
i will wrap arround us

[chorus 2]
it’s softer than words that are spoken
or painted as slogans and flung to the lions
written on slips as the punters wait smoking
a lip of faith, the odd sky+high
said goodbye to your place or mine
[bridge]
don’t like to make promises that i can’t keep
don’t want to hut this old heart or wreck my sleep
thinking how will we part
will i hold your hand or you be left holding mine?
between this breath and then
there’s this airlock of time
this airlock of time

[verse 2]
and this dark and velvet night
that surrounds us
this dark and velvet night
i will wrap arround us

[chorus 3]
it’s softer than words that are spoken
in the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
engraved on gold rings or some other love token
no walls, no bells to sanctify
this dark and velvet night
