Van Zandt, Townes - The Velvet Voices Lyrics
I'll play upon my violin
Until the mountains ring
Of lonely laughter blindly thrown
Across an endless arc of strings
And the skies are sad
And the velvet voices all shall join
The singing
The hall is filled to every corner
By a tinkling hint of chimes
A melody careens and crumbles
Leaving just a trace behind
A rhythm [?] faintly fails
The silver on it's wings
And the velvet voices all shall join
The cymbals flash, the drums they crash
The trumpets rise to song
The brass baton plucks bits diamonds
From a glittering wall of almost dawn
The crystal chords they slash the wind
In humble majesty
And the velvet voices all shall join
The singing

I'll play upon my violin
Until the mountains ring
Of lonely laughter blindly thrown
And cause an endless sark of strings
The skies are sad
They're dancin' to a silent symphony
And the velvet voices all shall join
The singing
The hall is filled to every corner
By a tinkling hint of chimes
A melody careens and crumbles
Leaving just a trace behind
A rhythm [palter and] faintly fails
The silver on its wings
And the velvet voices all shall join
The singing
The cymbals flash, the drums they crash
The trumpets rise the song
The brass beton plucks its diamonds
From a glittering wall of almost dawn
The crystal chords they slash the wind
In humble majesty
And the velvet voices all shall join
The singing

Wow Townes poetry.
Nice. Reminds me of Johnny Cash. Townes may be an old soul but he also has an innocent childlike quality.
I stoped my car on a lonesome highway in eastern New Mexico, turned off everything but this song full blast, and enjoyed this hymn to the sky.
that's what lifes all about dude
I loved the singing, and his voice was strong, but the music seemed like it was trying to move him back to the old cowboy days of the 40's. I love and miss those old cowboy tunes. Some people are born old souls.
wow another song of his I never knew about, this one is very different too, I like it
Thank you for posting this, oasisforever00.
