Phish - Wading In The Velvet Sea Lyrics






I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
Mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless

The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a bin
Time leaks out my life leaks in

You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you

    My question is this, do you really stomp Mexicans? If so, why? I listened to this song at the request of my first love....I wouldn't have done it for anyone else in the world. This song reaches deep into my soul and stabs it with a rusty ice pick... What on the hell do you people hear before you post about how great this friggin garbage is? It's the Stag beer of music! 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

    I took a moment from my day

    Wrapped it up in things you say

    Mailed it off to your address

    You'll get it pretty soon unless

    The packaging begins to break

    And all the points I tried to make

    Are tossed with thoughts into a bin

    Time leaks out my life leaks in

    You won't find moments in a box
    And someone else will set your clocks
    I took a moment from my day
    Wrapped it up in things you say
    And mailed it off to you

  39. l.... ....

    2:27 One of the best emotional guitar solos I've ever heard.

  40. H.... ....

    Beautiful. How many bands can have you Completely rocking and going crazy and then 10 minutes later put you near tears with a song like this? Not many. This is great

    H.... ....

    Harpua812 agreed.

    H.... ....

    I mean the good ones can all do it, but yeah I hear what you’re saying.
