歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the velvet chair
Perfume still in the air
Mirror with silver glass
Watching the shadows pass
Satin is turning grey
Time took the lead away
[Pre-Chorus]
The cor anglais begins to sigh
Under a heavy winter sky
I fold the lace with shaking hands
Buried beneath the frozen sands
[Chorus]
Oh, the snow fell down
On the silent town
And the curtain stayed
Where the shadows played
Music lost its breath
In a winter death
Now the stage is bare
In the frozen air
[Post-Chorus]
Let the velvet fall
On the empty hall
Let the winter stay
While I walk away
[Verse]
Playbills are yellowed now
Waiting to take a bow
Ink on the paper bleeds
Sowing the hollow seeds
Understudy of ghosts
Drinking the silent toasts
[Pre-Chorus]
The celesta rings a lonely bell
Inside this hollow, gilded shell
The French horn calls from long ago
Lost in the rhythm of the snow
[Chorus]
Oh, the snow fell down
On the silent town
And the curtain stayed
Where the shadows played
Music lost its breath
In a winter death
Now the stage is bare
In the frozen air
[Bridge]
I was the voice behind the light
Waiting for one December night
But the white lace fell from high above
Smothering every dream of love
Viola strings begin to weep
Secrets that I chose to keep
[Breakdown]
[Verse]
Pack the trunk
Lock the door
Walk across
The wooden floor
Empty seats
In rows of gold
Stories that
Were never told
One last look
At the grand design
Knowing the spotlight wasn't mine
[Chorus]
Oh, the snow fell down
On the silent town
And the curtain stayed
Where the shadows played
Music lost its breath
In a winter death
Now the stage is bare
In the frozen air
[Post-Chorus]
Let the velvet fall
On the empty hall
Let the winter stay
While I walk away
[Outro]
