  • I've been wading in the velvet sea
    I've been wading in the velvet sea
    I've been wading in the

    I've been wading in the velvet sea
    I've been wading in the
    I've been wading in the

    I took a moment from my day
    And wrapped it up in things you say
    And 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
    And 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
    And wrapped it up in things you say
    And mailed it off to you

    You won't find moments in a box
    And someone else will set your clocks
    I took a moment from my day

  • Randy from Ashland, OhI WAS THERE! It was all so surreal,..so emotional, like a dream. When this song played, alot of people just cried,..literally,
    including myself. Four days of total bliss at the coventry airport,..so many people,..and it rained almost the entire time. There
    was mud everywhere, tents,every minute of every day there was was total freedom. I felt like I knew what "woodstock" was like.
  • Dave In Detroit from Detroit, MiNo one has said why it is such an emotional song to get through...
    Maybe he just swallowed a bug at the wrong time, all I'm sayin'...
  • Ellen from Louisville, KyThe first time I ever heard this song, I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard. I was lucky enough to hear them play it as their last song in Wisconsin on their last tour.
  • Chris from Ada, OkWow...Wow! This song gets me all emotional. I love it. Not you usual phish song but phish is by far my favorite band. If you have never listened to it, please please do. It is amazing.
