Cold brass keys in a heavy hand
Salt air drifts on the coastal sand
Oil lamps burn in the window pane
Washing out all the winter rain
Walk the hall of the velvet blue
Every door opens something new
Lock the gate and hold the gold
Stories that the blueprints told
Ink on paper and lines of gray
Hidden rooms where the secrets stay
Marble floors and a heavy door
I can't find what I'm looking for
Walk the hall of the velvet blue
Every door opens something new
Lock the gate and hold the gold
Stories that the blueprints told
Old clock ticks on the walnut wall
Iron stairs in the western hall
Turn the dial and the gears will spin
Let the ghost of the manor in
Walk the hall of the velvet blue
Every door opens something new
Lock the gate and hold the gold
Stories that the blueprints told
Sooty glass and a copper light
Keeping watch through the lonely night
One more room and the map is clear
Everything that I held so dear
Walk the hall of the velvet blue
Every door opens something new
Lock the gate and hold the gold
Stories that the blueprints told
The blueprints told.
Velvet blue.
