LYRICS

VELVET SKY, CRACKED EARTH

We met by the silos both lookin' for shade
The wind carried ash but we stayed
You smiled through the static like it weren't a bad sign
Said the world may be broken but this hand's still mine

Velvet sky cracked earth
Love don't vanish with the worth
You held me close by the fallout light
And we danced like the stars still burned that night
Velvet sky

Your coat smelled like cedar and ration time rain
Your laugh stitched the seams of my name
We carved little songs on the hull of a train
And sang 'em to ghosts on the broken terrain

Velvet sky cracked earth
Hope don't need a perfect birth
The ground gave way but we stayed strong
With a tin cup rhythm and a cedar song
Velvet sky

Now when the sun sets behind bent steel
I swear I can feel what you made real
No polished stone no marker stone
Just a sky and a field and the place we'd known

Velvet sky cracked earth
Love don't vanish with the worth
Where fire once danced I still return
For the soft spoke lessons we let burn
Velvet sky
Cracked earth
