Some Velvet Morning

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 end
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Flowers growing on a hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

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 end
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Flowers are the things we know
Secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

Some velvet morning when I'm straight
(Flowers growing on a hill)
I'm gonna open up your gate
(Dragonflies and daffodils)
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
(Learn from us very much)
And how she gave me life
(Look at us but do not touch)
And how she made it end
(Phaedra is my name)
