Velvet

peto

His lifeline cut off at the source 

A first fence faller three mile course 

A jedi knight without the force 

He missed her velvet touch 

 

A tarnished gemstone does not shine 

The bitter taste of tonic wine 

A banquet where the vultures dine

He missed her velvet touch 

 

A power plant run low on gas

A chandelier of broken glass 

She took away his back stage pass 

He missed her velvet touch 

 

A heart that lost it's rhythmic beat

He walks another dead end street 

A raging fire still brings no heat 

He missed her velvet touch 

 

He excorcised love's haunting ghost 

She said the words he cherished most 

They raised a glass she made the toast 

He felt her velvet touch
