歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The jasmine crawls along the wall Where cool and heavy shadows fall I hide behind the ancient stone To keep this secret as my own You stand beneath the cypress tree A ghost that only I can see Your charcoal stains the morning white To catch the dying Tuscan light [Pre-Chorus] My prayer book sits upon the grass Watching every second pass The ink is wet upon the page A bird within a gilded cage [Chorus] Oh, painter of the morning light Keep me in your golden sight Through the iron and the dust In this silent, sacred trust Love is just a watercolor blur A prayer that we both prefer [Post-Chorus] Softly now, the lute will play As the amber fades away [Verse] You slide a sketch through narrow bars Of velvet skies and distant stars My fingers brush against your hand A touch we both can understand The cor anglais begins to sigh Beneath the pale and heavy sky You whisper through the iron lace I memorize your weary face [Pre-Chorus] The rosary is cold and still Against the damp and stony sill One more poem, folded tight To carry through the lonely night [Chorus] Oh, painter of the morning light Keep me in your golden sight Through the iron and the dust In this silent, sacred trust Love is just a watercolor blur A prayer that we both prefer [Interlude] [Bridge] The incense drifts in heavy clouds Beyond the reach of temple crowds If I could break the marble seal And tell you everything I feel But duty calls in shades of gray To take my stolen heart away [Breakdown] Smudged blue lines And jasmine vines Stolen glances Lost romances One last look before the bell A secret that we'll never tell [Chorus] Oh, painter of the morning light Keep me in your golden sight Through the iron and the dust In this silent, sacred trust Love is just a watercolor blur A prayer that we both prefer [Post-Chorus] Softly now, the lute will play As the amber fades away The vespers ring across the hill And keep the garden very still [Outro]
