Marc Almond - The Velvet Trail lyrics
Your rating:
Lead me down the velvet trail To the single and the sea Jet fighters flying over head Feeling melancholy Jet fighters flying over head Leaving trails across the sky Fly into the setting sun Summer leaves without goodbye I wandered down the old arcade Where teenage dreams are one and lost Just a few old dirty coins Mean so much when you are young And the rain starts to fall Splashing off the carousel Now all the horses look for loss So many memories to mourn Things will never be the same Painted faces fading fast And like the spark of youthful hope Those smiles were never meant to last I can see the sea Too busy looking out for me So leave me down the velvet trail Where my summers used to be The grass is wild and overgrown I walked the trail all on my own Where the foxes made its lair My memories are found in there And the night (??) looks for shells One for sorrow, two for joy Steal away my shining things Steal the treasure from the boy Once there was you and there was me Both so young and so carefree Back when the beach had golden sand And dreams we held within our hand Or was this just our golden age? And as the movie fades to blank The gold never ours to keep We always have to give it back Lead me down the velvet trail To things that were and never was I'm to see who last comes in And all my memories are lost Lead me down the velvet trail As the rain begins to fall All the pathways that I walked I don't remember now at all
