Cobalt and Clay

[Intro]
[Verse]
The furnace glows so bright
In fading evening light
My apron stained with ash
Where canal waters splash
[Pre-Chorus]
You step inside the door
Across the dusty floor
Your velvet coat of red
Without a word being said
[Chorus]
I blow the cobalt sphere
To keep your shadow near
The glass begins to clear
For you, my noble dear
[Post-Chorus]
Ring the silver bell
Secrets we cannot tell
Spin the glowing thread
Where angels fear to tread
[Verse]
You touch the finished frame
But do not speak my name
Your fingers soft and white
Against the velvet night
[Hook]
Molten heart of blue
Spun alone for you
Breath upon the clay
Fading with the day
[Bridge]
The tides of the lagoon
Rise up to meet the moon
You walk along the quay
Far, far away from me
[Bridge]
I hold the glass so cold
A love that is untold
The fire starts to fade
Inside the shop we made
[Verse]
The palazzo stands so tall
Across the water wall
I watch your window shine
With someone else's wine
[Chorus]
I blow the cobalt sphere
To keep your shadow near
The glass begins to clear
For you, my noble dear
[Post-Chorus]
Ring the silver bell
Secrets we cannot tell
Spin the glowing thread
Where angels fear to tread
[Outro]
