Velvet at the Laundromat

You brought a wine-stained velvet dress Your sister's wedding, one small mess I dropped my quarters on the floor You caught one rolling by the door The ceiling hummed a crooked tune Your evening made a little room Stay till the spinning stops Stay while the minutes drop We got nowhere fine to be Velvet and a laundry seat You told me how you'd missed the dance I said I'd never learned the steps You set your shoes beside the wall We made a ballroom of it all Stay till the spinning stops Stay while the minutes drop We got nowhere fine to be Velvet and a laundry seat The final dryer clicked to rest You folded sleeves against your chest And on a clean white cotton tee You wrote your number on my sleeve Stay till the spinning stops Stay while the minutes drop We got nowhere fine to be Velvet and a laundry seat We left with warm clothes in the cold And one more reason to come close
