Graveyard Velvet

I step out where the streetlights fade

Boots on the pavement, slow parade

The night lane's in, it knows my name

Every shadow plays my game

Moon on the glass flag, velvet sky

Heart in the hush as I pass by

No fear in me, just a steady spark

I was built for the hush

I was built for the dark

I'm walking through the dark like it was made for me

'Til a broken beam of light just sets me free

I wear the midnight like a second skin

If the night wants company, I'm coming in

I'm walking through the dark like it was made for me

And the blackest part of the train feels worn to me

Oh, ghost grin from the alley wall

I don't flinch, I can hear them call

Candles flicker in the window haze

Like a secret from another age

Moon on the glass, black velvet sky

Hard in the hush as I pass by

No fear in me, just a steady spark

I was built for the hush

I was built for the touch

I'm walking through the dark like it was made for me

Every broken beam of light just sets me free

I wear the midnight like a second skin

If the night wants company, I'm coming in

I'm walking through the dark like It was made for me

And the blackest part of the dream feels warm to me

Let the thunder roll, let the whole world hide

I got that shadow step, that reckless glide

When the clock strikes one and the door's all closed

I bloom in the dark where the cold wind blows

I'm walkin' through the dark like it was made for me

Every broken beam of light just sets me free

I wear the midnight like a second skin

If the night wants company, I'm comin' in

I'm walkin' through the darkness like it was made for me

And the blackest part of the dream feels warm to me
