歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The tallow burns low in the hall Shadows dance against the wall My fingers trace the vellum gold A story left untold The harpsichord begins to chime A ghost of rhythm out of time I find your script in faded blue A melody designed for two [Pre-Chorus] The glass harmonica starts to sigh Beneath a heavy velvet sky I see your ghost in every line A melody that wasn't mine [Chorus] Oh the air we never sang Where the courtly bells once rang Faded ink and frozen breath Loving you was life and death Now the strings begin to weep Secrets that the shadows keep In this room of stone and dust Broken strings and ancient rust [Post-Chorus] Dust upon the keys Bending to my knees In the midnight freeze [Verse] The cor anglais calls through the mist A phantom hand upon my wrist You were the crown I was the quill The conservatory stands so still Frost blooms on the leaded pane I seek your signature in vain Each half-scrawled word a silent plea A royal heart that wasn't free [Pre-Chorus] The cello moans a low lament For every hour we never spent The candle flickers in the draft Hiding every song we graft [Chorus] Oh the air we never sang Where the courtly bells once rang Faded ink and frozen breath Loving you was life and death Now the strings begin to weep Secrets that the shadows keep In this room of stone and dust Broken strings and ancient rust [Bridge] Half-scrawled goodbyes in the margin's edge Broken by a silent pledge A royal seal in wax and red Words that should have stayed unsaid The brass is soft and breathing low Watching all the embers glow We are lost in minor keys Drifting on the winter breeze [Solo] [Verse] The ink is pale the paper thin Where do I end and you begin? The duet waits upon the stand Untouched by any living hand I hear your voice within the flute Though the world is cold and mute One last chord before the dawn Before the memory is gone [Chorus] Oh the air we never sang Where the courtly bells once rang Faded ink and frozen breath Loving you was life and death Now the strings begin to weep Secrets that the shadows keep In this room of stone and dust Broken strings and ancient rust [Post-Chorus] Dust upon the keys Bending to my knees In the midnight freeze [Outro]
