Velveteen (All Is Bright)

Without a thought he said

Go there, go there

And they dropped their heads

Disappeared into the cloud bank

Following those silver sparks

Gathering the distance

Between this chilly flood

And sugar plum stance

Those silver bells didn't make a sound

When they fell to rest

At the bottom of Superior

Just above you Sean he said

Go there, go there

And they dropped their heads

Disappeared into the night

Through the splintery ice

Into the slippery waters

Towards the falling hunt

Above that deep and dreamless sky

He wishes luck and mercy, ma

Upon remembers fellow team dust

The season's first snow

He's sorry to have left

But there was so far left to go

And the lake was ours, you know

All is calm, all is bright

Office punch pinholes through brittle ice

All is calm, all is bright

Tinsel fit bird's nest catch the light

All is calm, all is bright

And now dragging the lake

With peppermint hoes

Paint brush

To frostbitten pens

Ringing hands like

Abundant stairs

Wishing luck

Mercy, ma

Wishing luck

Mercy, ma

Above that deep and dreamless sky
