Portrait In Black Velvet - Danny O'Keefe (丹尼·欧基夫)[00:00:00]

Come with me now into a piece of velvet[00:00:08]

And a plastic painter's daring dance of death[00:00:12]

We'll journey very far into the surface[00:00:16]

Those not used to diving hold your breath[00:00:20]

The lady of my dreams paints scars of velvet[00:00:26]

On the mirror are the words she chose to speak[00:00:30]

And there the heavy hands that hang suspended[00:00:34]

Wrote: The Easter undertaker's laughter breaks[00:00:37]

Painter she cried it's mourning[00:00:44]

She stared like a saint undone[00:00:48]

Painter she cried it's morning[00:00:52]

And we cannot find the sun[00:00:58]

I offered her my cap and tiny shovel[00:01:12]

Saying surely this will hide you from the sun[00:01:16]

I obtained it from a banker in depression[00:01:20]

He was a memory from 1931[00:01:24]

She butchers up her meat in careful quarters[00:01:30]

Knowing the prize at stake is very high[00:01:34]

And she builds a worn cliché into climax[00:01:38]

Knowing she will barely get by[00:01:42]

Painter she cried it's mourning[00:01:48]

She stared like a saint undone[00:01:52]

Painter she cried it's morning[00:01:56]

And we cannot find the sun[00:02:02]

Lady return my dream[00:02:08]

It wasn't free it's not for sale[00:02:16]

Lady return my dream[00:02:24]

And let me go on with the telling of my tale[00:02:31]

Her gentle voice cried quietly to thank me[00:02:56]

It's nothing the hollow answer said[00:02:59]

I let her ride the railroad line to Nowhere[00:03:03]

And left the lost survivor on her bed[00:03:07]

Painter look it's mourning[00:03:13]

She stared like a saint undone[00:03:17]

Painter look it's morning[00:03:21]

And we cannot find the sun[00:03:30]

Lady return my dream[00:03:36]

It wasn't free it held my life[00:03:43]

The portrait ends in a scream[00:03:52]

Two hearts held together with a knife[00:03:59]
