The Felice Brothers - Black Velvet Band lyrics

Well I'm sick of crying velvet eyes Sick of pining for you Oh I am too damn cold to turn on the stove I've been so awfully blue And at night I dream of St. Louis Heaven rings the king's county band And I cull through the dark room for hours For the girl in the black velvet band Oh I'm back from the dead and now I'm sitting up in bed Watching these sitcoms dissolve Even the music from the street is sounding sweet It sounded so awful for so long And at night I dream of a salesman Who has come to sell me a plan Where I'm sure to win back that woman Oh the one in the black velvet band The smoke fills the room The poppy's bloom So I'll make my way Out of this town someday So I guess I'm gone The weather's come Oh they tell me the forecast is grim Oh they plan to appraise this worthless place For the mining of nickel and tin And if I was a going somewhere And if you could take my hand I would wait in this hallway forever For the girl in the black velvet band Oh if I harbor a sickness For the girl in the black velvet band
