歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The sun leans low across the floor Beyond the heavy oaken door I count the spines in rows of gold Stories waiting to be told Dust motes dance in amber light Shadows soft and out of sight [Pre-Chorus] A volume bound in faded blue A secret hidden from the view The edges foxed and worn through A scent of cedar, old and true [Chorus] Oh, the weight of words unsaid Tucked inside a poet’s bed Ink that bled a soft refrain Quiet joy and quiet pain Between the lines of black and white A heart was reaching for the light Never sent and never known A garden that was never grown [Post-Chorus] Folded tight Out of sight In the light [Verse] Cursive loops of forty-four A name I haven't heard before The paper thin as winter air A lock of ribbon, brown and fair He wrote of how the starlight fell A secret only he could tell [Pre-Chorus] I hold the breath he never took Within the pages of this book A single, long and longing look The very ground beneath me shook [Chorus] Oh, the weight of words unsaid Tucked inside a poet’s bed Ink that bled a soft refrain Quiet joy and quiet pain Between the lines of black and white A heart was reaching for the light Never sent and never known A garden that was never grown [Bridge] The bassoon hums a low lament For every message never sent The celesta rings like falling rain To wash away the hidden stain Of all the loves that stayed inside With nowhere left for them to hide [Hook] Quiet grandeur Softest candor Lost meander Love’s commander [Chorus] Oh, the weight of words unsaid Tucked inside a poet’s bed Ink that bled a soft refrain Quiet joy and quiet pain Between the lines of black and white A heart was reaching for the light Never sent and never known A garden that was never grown [Outro]
