Some Velvet Morning

[Frater G]

Some velvet mornin' 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 mornin' 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 mornin' 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 mornin' 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 mornin' 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
FADE
And how she made it end

[George the 3rd]

Never did "get" the Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood thing but there was always something strangely compelling about this song. (maybe its the not so subtle double entendra of the lyrics; "Some velvet morning when I'm straight I'm gonna open up your gate") Thanks for jogging the memory! This is one not likely to be played on the radio and even less likely to be remembered by yours truly!

I heard this on Technicolor Web of Sound and remembered them too. I'm still trying to get the lyrics (Phaedra's part) on how they relate to the Greek myth. Anyways I've always liked Nancy Sinatra's music.
