Gold Leaf Vows

[Intro]
[Verse]
Morning light hits the floor
I walk through the heavy door
The silence is a holy sound
My feet barely touch the ground
The piano waits in the shade
For the music we just made
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled paper on the seat
Victory feels so bittersweet
The shadows dance in the air
Like a soft and silent prayer
[Chorus]
I trace the gold upon the arch
Through the long and lonely march
I found the light within the song
Where I knew that I belong
Little girl with the violin
Look at the world we are in
[Post-Chorus]
Crystalline and clear
No more room for fear
[Verse]
Dust motes drift in the sun
Now the work has just begun
I touch the wood of the stage
Turning over a brand new page
The velvet curtains are still
By the power of my will
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear the ghosts of notes
In their tiny velvet coats
They linger high in the dark
Left behind a glowing spark
[Chorus]
I trace the gold upon the arch
Through the long and lonely march
I found the light within the song
Where I knew that I belong
Little girl with the violin
Look at the world we are in
[Bridge]
The applause is a ghost in the rafters
Mixed with joy of the afters
I promised you I would stay
I would never look away
Every string and every breath
Love is stronger than death
[Verse]
I find a program on the floor
I don't need it anymore
My name is printed in the ink
I stop a moment just to think
The girl I was is smiling now
She takes a final, silent bow
[Chorus]
I trace the gold upon the arch
Through the long and lonely march
I found the light within the song
Where I knew that I belong
Little girl with the violin
Look at the world we are in
[Post-Chorus]
Crystalline and clear
No more room for fear
[Outro]
