[Verse 1] The sun goes down in a gold glass frame On a pawnshop sign with no one to blame I cross the avenue in my best slow shoes With the whole long night and my old blue mood [Verse 2] A taxi sighs by the corner door A baker’s cart by the record store The windows glow like a honeyed seam And the wet street keeps my secret dream [Pre-Chorus] And the sax from the corner bar Keeps calling me from far, so far I let that low note pull me through Into the velvet, into you [Chorus] Blue velvet avenue I’m floating home to you Blue velvet avenue Where every shade feels true (blue velvet avenue) My heart walks slow with the moon [Verse 3] Inside, the room is a velvet rust Old brown notes and a little dust He tips his hat when he sees me smile Says, “Stay a while, stay a while” [Verse 4] The drummer brushes like falling rain The piano bends on a windowpane I sip my night and I don’t need more Than a warm old tune and a creaking floor [Pre-Chorus] And the sax from the corner bar Keeps calling me from far, so far I let that low note pull me through Into the velvet, into you [Chorus] Blue velvet avenue I’m floating home to you Blue velvet avenue Where every shade feels true (blue velvet avenue) My heart walks slow with the moon [Bridge] The city hums like a patient tune Lanterns bloom under the iron moon If tomorrow comes, let it find me here With a sweet slow burn and a crystal clear [Chorus] Blue velvet avenue I’m floating home to you Blue velvet avenue Where every shade feels true (blue velvet avenue) My heart walks slow with the moon [Outro] Blue velvet Soft and true Blue velvet avenue I’m walking home with you
