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
