Put trust in an unknown

'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key

After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy

Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn

Branches beckoned along the wrong path
Bm E7
Winding up in the past
Chorus:
Em
And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us

Written on slips as the punters wait smoking

Said goodbye to your place or mine

Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?

Between this breath and then
B A#m G# D#m
There's this airlock of time
F#m B
This airlock of time
Chorus:
Em
And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
F Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
F Em
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
F Am
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
Bm Em Bm E7
No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night

Verse 1:
Em D
Take my arm and walk with me
Cmaj7
Once more down this dusty old path

The sunset cuts the hill in half

But these darkening days

Flow like honey

These days slowing down

A whole life in a glance

The clearest light shines in the darkness

One step at a time

As the days slip by

As smooth as glass

The moments pass

Em D
And all these precious things you gave
Cmaj7
That I've been holding in my hands

These grains of sand

A man stands in a river

Time is a tide that disobeys

It disobeys me

And it disobeys me
