about

The last song written on - and about - a beautiful guitar I had to sell to fix a crappy car.....

lyrics

Velvet Coffin

i lay you down
in your velvet coffin
each time i'm finished
you take it so well
stroked and still humming
from our last encounter
you shimmer to silence while
i feel like hell
i feel like hell - oh well


it grieves me to part with you
but when the sun comes
i find my sweet solace
as best as some could
first, i lay you down
in your velvet coffin
'cause it seems that i'm finished
you take it so good
you take it so good, you should


i know you must get mighty lonesome always sleeping alone
but when the sun goes down
and there's no one around
we'll join the rastas we know
do the doobie doobie doobie that you do
roll the doobie doobie doobie that you do
hare the doobie doobie doobie that you do
and don't bogart the doobie, don't bogart the doobie (i said)
(2x)

i lay you down
in your velvet coffin
my fingertips aching
my eyes just as red
wish i could take you to
the places i visit
but it seems that i can't fit you
in the back of my head
i'll suffer instead, oh well

[chorus]
