Velvet And Pearl

Howe Gelb

Rectify my little lover 
Rectify my little girl 
Damned if I discover you don’t mean all the world 
…you don’t mean all the world 

I’m going to buy you a brand new cover 
One made out of velvet and pearl 
One to keep you warm whenever 
I leave for the rest of the world 
Got to travel the world 

Getting cold there alone anticipating 
Cold alone there waiting 
Cold there alone waiting on me to get on back from… 

Now I’m wrecked if I do 
And I’m wrecked if I don’t 
And I’m wrecked if I will 
And if I won’t 
I’m wrecked most days 
I’m wrecked most days 
See that fellow, he’s a plane wreck 
His life is one big train wreck 
chorus

a little late, a little late 
I found you meant all the world
