About my song
1st verse and chorus of ‘Tip the Velvet’:\
Once while I lay sleeping\
My spirit left the room\
And like a silkworm becomes a creature of flight\
I rose above the gloom\
I flew beyond the mountains\
To a distant desert land\
And there within a prison of stone\
I took a stranger’s hand and he whispered\
(Man)Tip the Velvet, (woman)I felt him rise\
(Man)Tip the Velvet, (woman)Into my dreams\
(man)Tip the Velvet, (woman)And in the night\
(man)Tip the Velvet, (woman)I heard the leopard scream
