Waiting in Green Velvet Lyrics


Waiting in green velvet
With a suitcase in her hand,
Standing down a ways from
The bus stop sign,
Looking at the sky,
Like she was bound for
The promised land,
Checkin' out her watch
Like she was losing time.
She was checkin' out her watch
Like she was losing time.Chorus:
Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout
Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight,
It'll be here soon,
Comin' down to fly us all away.
Can't you hear the roar of
The distant engines from a far-off moon?
Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?So I just sat there on

The bus stop bench awhile
And watched her stare into the sun.
Reminded me what
My grandma said
When I was just a child,
That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one,
That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one.ChorusThe bus pulled up and I got in
But the girl didn't even move.
This was not the ride she was waiting for.
The bus driver just shook his head
Cause there's nothing in the world to do
And I waved good-bye through
The slowly closing door.
I just waved good-bye
Through the slowly closing door.Chorus

According to an early press release by EMI "His maverick ways paid off in 1993 when EMI Records released his self-penned debut Painted Desert Serenade, a collection of introspective story songs including the break-through single "Jessie" and "When A Woman Cries," already covered by legends Joe Cocker and Smokey Robinson. "I was so used to being outside of whatever was going on that I didn't even think I'd get a record deal, much less have my songs played on the radio." This, from the young man who received the BMI Award for one of the most played songs of 1994.
