歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The amber light begins to fade Across the table where I've stayed These crimson peonies are cracked A century of grace intact My fingers trace the painted fold The stories that the silk has told [Pre-Chorus] A needle thin as winter rain To soothe a hundred years of pain I pull the thread so very tight Against the coming of the night [Chorus] Oh, let the broken edges mend Where every fray becomes a friend A quiet craft of soft repair Like ribbons in her silver hair We hold the ghost of what has been Within the folds of painted skin [Verse] In Paris once the sun was gold Before the world grew gray and cold She taught me how to heal the tear With patience more than any fear The cor anglais begins to sigh Beneath a heavy violet sky [Hook] Mending the light Softly tonight Mending the light Turning to white [Chorus] Oh, let the broken edges mend Where every fray becomes a friend A quiet craft of soft repair Like ribbons in her silver hair We hold the ghost of what has been Within the folds of painted skin [Bridge] The church bell rings so far away To end this long and dusty day The wood and bone, the lace and glue To make the ancient heart feel new Nothing stays and nothing lasts But we can bind the drifting past [Chorus] Oh, let the broken edges mend Where every fray becomes a friend A quiet craft of soft repair Like ribbons in her silver hair We hold the ghost of what has been Within the folds of painted skin [Outro]
