"Shooting Velvet" lyrics - THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA

[Verse 1: Bjorn Strid]
Here we are in a distant slumber
The silence is our friend
Down we went from a night in London
To a morning in Tashkent
We used to smile just to feel the rush
Weaving dreams at the age of ten
Open roads and a solid future
Whispering how, where and then when
No pain, no damn revenge

[Chorus: Bjorn Strid, Bjorn Strid, Anna Brygard, Asa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...

[Verse 2: Bjorn Strid, Anna Brygard & Asa Lundman, All]
Dreams of unity still guiding us through
In the fabric of our time (Whoa oh oh whoa oh)
Echoes of our past still ringing
Rekindling our light
Sparks set on fire within ourselves
Straining every small town heart
Can you feel it, that used to be us
Singing of our dreams once lost (Ahhh Oh)
We were underneath the stars
Whoa oh oh oh

[Chorus: Bjorn Strid, Bjorn Strid, Anna Brygard, Asa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge: Bjorn Strid, Anna Brygard, Asa Lundman]
Come on and turn it around...

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus: Bjorn Strid, Bjorn Strid, Anna Brygard, Asa Lundman]
I believe that we're still young
Shooting velvet from a gun
There will always be a time for us - together
I believe we're on the run
And we know it must be done
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever, and ever
We will find our own way back
And let it last forever
And come undone...
