Lee Hazlewood - Some Velvet Morning lyrics

Male:

Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

I'm gonna open up your gate.

And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra

and how she gave me life

and how she made it in.

Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:

Flowers growing on the hill.

Dragonflies and daffodils.

Learn from us very much.

Look at us but do not touch.

Phaedra is my name.

Male:

Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

I'm gonna open up your gate.

And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra

and how she gave me life

and how she made it in.

Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:

Flowers are the things we knew.

Secrets are the things we grew.

Learn from us very much.

Look at us but do not touch.

Phaedra is my name.

Male:

Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:

Flowers growing on the hill.

Male:

I'm gonna open up your gate.

Female:

Dragonflies and daffodils.

Male:

And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra

Female:

Learn from us very much.

Male:

And how she gave me life.

Female:

Look at us but do not touch.

Male:

and how she made it in.
