歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Found it at a dusty stall Leaning ‘gainst a wooden wall Eighteen-ninety on the spine Faded ink and elegant line Cracked leather in my hand Whispers from a distant land [Verse] Turn the page so slow and gold Stories that were never told Salt is crusted on the edge Like a secret winter pledge Vellum smells of ancient tea And the cold and restless sea [Pre-Chorus] Between the pages of July A tiny ghost began to lie A pressed lily, white and thin Where the silent words begin [Chorus] Salt-crusted parchment on the floor Waves are knocking at the door A love that never quite came true Dressed in shades of ocean blue Church bells ringing far away Through the mist of yesterday [Post-Chorus] Oh, the quiet wonder In the rolling thunder [Verse] She wrote of parlor window panes Watching all the winter rains Waiting for a sailor’s call Shadows dancing on the wall Bassoon hums a lonely note Lines he never even wrote [Pre-Chorus] The ink is blurring on the leaf A quiet, ornamental grief Silver tea and morning frost Counting everything she lost [Chorus] Salt-crusted parchment on the floor Waves are knocking at the door A love that never quite came true Dressed in shades of ocean blue Church bells ringing far away Through the mist of yesterday [Bridge] Trumpets sound a golden light In the middle of the night Virginal keys begin to spin Let the strings come rushing in It’s a heavy, hollow grace Looking for a missing face [Break] [Verse] I walk down to the garden gate The hour is getting rather late I pick a flower, fresh and new Still wet with the morning dew I tuck it in the paper fold To keep the story from the cold [Chorus] Salt-crusted parchment on the floor Waves are knocking at the door A love that never quite came true Dressed in shades of ocean blue Church bells ringing far away Through the mist of yesterday [Post-Chorus] Carry on the quiet prayer Lilies floating in the air Passing down the gentle sigh Underneath a summer sky [Outro]
