"And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra"

Some Velvet Morning
By Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra

Lyrics:

Male:
Some velvet morning 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 in.
Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:
Flowers growing on the hill.
Dragonflies and daffodils.
Learn from us very much.
Look at us but do not touch.
Phaedra is my name.

Male:
Some velvet morning 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 in.
Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:
Flowers are the things we knew.
Secrets are the things we grew.
Learn from us very much.
Look at us but do not touch.
Phaedra is my name.

Male:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight.

Female:
Flowers growing on the hill.

Male:
I'm gonna open up your gate.

Female:
Dragonflies and daffodils.

Male:
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra

Female:
Learn from us very much.

Male:
And how she gave me life.

Female:
Look at us but do not touch.

Male:
and how she made it in.

I've been mesmerized by this song since I first heard it which was by accident.

Its interpretation is subject to many debates - even the lyrics are in question. Many believe that instead of "and how she made it in" is really "and how she made it END"

Its dark, deep and has a lush etherealness to it. Its alternative 60's style. Enjoi!
