Velvet, Lace and Leather (and Also Your Sigh)

Just like the snow in gothic television shows
Your love is warm though your touch is cold
And I can’t wait to see you out tonight
All velvet, lace and leather
Under yellow street light

There are few things I hold dear in this tragic life
Your smile among them and also your sigh
And if at this very moment I happened to die
At least I beheld you with my eyes
At least I kept my promises and did my best to be kind

I’ve never been very good at doing what I’m told
I know what I like and I refuse to grow old
You will always stay ageless in my eyes
All velvet, lace and leather
And also your sigh
