Velvet In The Candlelight

[Verse 1]

You arrive in velvet in the candlelight

Laughing at the thunder on the windowpane

Tracing little circles on your glass of wine

Saying

"Tell me something you’ve not said to anyone"

[Chorus]

Stay

My love

Till the candles die

Let the morning keep the sky

We’ll keep the night

Write your name across my heart in quiet gold

I was doing fine before you

But I don’t want fine anymore

[Verse 2]

You undo your hair and all the clocks slow down

Shadows turn to paintings on the bedroom wall

You lean in and suddenly the world falls off

Every rule I lived by feels so small

[Chorus]

Stay

My love

Till the candles die

Let the morning keep the sky

We’ll keep the night

Write your name across my heart in quiet gold

I was doing fine before you

But I don’t want fine anymore

[Bridge]

If this is madness

Let it last

Let the hours pour like wine

Kiss me once for every past

We’ll never have to live this time

[Chorus]

Stay

My love

Till the candles die

Let the morning keep the sky

We’ll keep the night

Write your name across my heart in quiet gold

I was doing fine before you

But I don’t want fine anymore
