lyrics

He didn’t mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn’t matter. - Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit



There’s a tree
Not too far from home
Waving leaves like it knows me

There’s a voice
I hear when I’m alone
Whispers to the seasons

There was touch
Knots along your spine
Packing bags at your bedside

Will you still love me
When my velvet’s gone?
Am I still worthy
When my thread is torn?
Will you still love me
Now there’s a hole we cannot mend?
Until then
Until then

There was hope
Treatment traded time
Folded hands defiant

There’s a phrase
I wish that I could say:
“I wish that you could stay
Alive in every way”

Please,
I wish that you could stay
I wish that you could stay
I wish that you could stay

Will you still love me
When my velvet’s gone?
Am I still worthy
When my thread is torn?
Will you still love me
Now there’s a hole we cannot mend?
Until then
Until then

There’s a tree
Not too far from home
Waving leaves, it knows me


“I love you more than you’ll ever know. I wish I could be everywhere with you.” - Bruce Kerr - Jodiette: My Lovely Wife
