Delux
Sublime
Gigantic for all times
and space
I wish for you the stars
bow down
I wish for you their infinite crown
In Velveteen
I will surround
With Velveteen
in your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
in your name
I'll keep this velvet
from the rain
So long, sleep well
Your purity speaks well
as you lay
with al these flowers
in your bed.
With all these flowers
you had left to give away
In Velveteen
I will surround
In Velveteen
in your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
in your name
I'll keep this velvet
from the rain

This song completely reminds me of my Mother who comitted suicide in 1998. I can't hear it w/o crying.
velveteen is a material often used to line the interior of coffins...a song about saying goodbye to someone who had "flowers left to give away" amazing, amazing song
