Stinging Velvet Lyrics
Rain falls, I fix my eyes
Let go of the focus and I blur out all the lines
Just to remember, remember
Crying 'cause it's not my fault
Water through my lashes look just like Christmas lights
And I still remember, remember
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
Sing please, rock me to sleep
Quiet as a canyon up under heaven's eaves
I surrender, surrender
Downstairs the furnace swells
Safe from all the horrors in your stinging velvet arms
And I surrender, surrender
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
[x2]
Let go of the focus and I blur out all the lines
Just to remember, remember
Water through my lashes look just like Christmas lights
And I still remember, remember
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
Quiet as a canyon up under heaven's eaves
I surrender, surrender
Safe from all the horrors in your stinging velvet arms
And I surrender, surrender
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
[x2]
I love this song so very much. I especially love the imagery of "cold and shivering warm."
This song is one of my favourites. "Stinging velvet arms". A man's hairy, gentle arms :). I know those :D.
It's a song where a woman is in the rain and remembers another rainy day, when she was crying over some injustice, shivering and cold, and found solace in the arms of her man.
The swelling downstair 'furnace' would be either his... you know, or her... counterpart ;). Sounds like they had a really nice night.
One of the sweetest lyrics I know, that avoid being tacky. The song certainly resonates with me and some of my memories :D.
She said in an interview that this song was about rain.
