Midnight Velvet at the End of the Hall

I slip through the candlelit halls tonight

Velvet steps and a restless moonlight glow

Every portrait leans in with an erring gaze

And every shadow seems to whisper slow

I walk with a broken chandelier sway

Through the dark old mansion and the silver haze

Every shadow knows my name

Every shadow knows my name

In the parlor, the piano sounds alone

While the upright bass keeps a sultry line

Brush drums like rain on a window pane

And the organ hums like a secret crime

I walk with a broken chandelier sway

Through the dark gold mansion and the silver haze

Every shadow knows my name

Every shadow knows my name

If I vanish behind the midnight lights

Will the walls remember my heartbeat still?

I taste the smoke of a vanished veil

And I follow the pull of an ancient chill

I walk with a broken chandelier sway

Through the dark gold mansion and the silver haze

Every shadow knows my name

Every shadow knows my name

Evеry shadow knows my name
