《Portrait In Black Velvet》歌词

[00:00:00] Portrait In Black Velvet - Danny O'Keefe (丹尼·欧基夫)

[00:00:08] Come with me now into a piece of velvet

[00:00:12] And a plastic painter's daring dance of death

[00:00:16] We'll journey very far into the surface

[00:00:20] Those not used to diving hold your breath

[00:00:26] The lady of my dreams paints scars of velvet

[00:00:30] On the mirror are the words she chose to speak

[00:00:34] And there the heavy hands that hang suspended

[00:00:37] Wrote: The Easter undertaker's laughter breaks

[00:00:44] Painter she cried it's mourning

[00:00:48] She stared like a saint undone

[00:00:52] Painter she cried it's morning

[00:00:58] And we cannot find the sun

[00:01:12] I offered her my cap and tiny shovel

[00:01:16] Saying surely this will hide you from the sun

[00:01:20] I obtained it from a banker in depression

[00:01:24] He was a memory from 1931

[00:01:30] She butchers up her meat in careful quarters

[00:01:34] Knowing the prize at stake is very high

[00:01:38] And she builds a worn cliché into climax

[00:01:42] Knowing she will barely get by

[00:01:48] Painter she cried it's mourning

[00:01:52] She stared like a saint undone

[00:01:56] Painter she cried it's morning

[00:02:02] And we cannot find the sun

[00:02:08] Lady return my dream

[00:02:16] It wasn't free it's not for sale

[00:02:24] Lady return my dream

[00:02:31] And let me go on with the telling of my tale

[00:02:56] Her gentle voice cried quietly to thank me

[00:02:59] It's nothing the hollow answer said

[00:03:03] I let her ride the railroad line to Nowhere

[00:03:07] And left the lost survivor on her bed

[00:03:13] Painter look it's mourning

[00:03:17] She stared like a saint undone

[00:03:21] Painter look it's morning

[00:03:30] And we cannot find the sun

[00:03:36] Lady return my dream

[00:03:43] It wasn't free it held my life

[00:03:52] The portrait ends in a scream

[00:03:59] Two hearts held together with a knife
