Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Velvet shadows pull the light Silver frost begins to bite By the fountain's edge I stand Glove removed from trembling hand Dusk is falling on the lawn Wait for stars until the dawn [Pre-Chorus] Tracing lines of ancient stone Faces carved and left alone Whispers lost within the deep Secrets that the gardens keep [Chorus] Oh, the marble starts to weep Promises we couldn't keep Twisting like the rising mist Lips the winter never kissed Time is frozen in the glass Watching all the seasons pass [Post-Chorus] Spinning through the frozen air Ribbons in my powdered hair Everything is made of lace Vanishing without a trace [Verse] Chipped and broken, Cupid's wing Silent songs the statues sing He is reaching for her waist Cold and bitter to the taste Like the ink upon my page Locked within a gilded cage [Chorus] Oh, the marble starts to weep Promises we couldn't keep Twisting like the rising mist Lips the winter never kissed Time is frozen in the glass Watching all the seasons pass [Bridge] If I spoke your name aloud Would it pierce the heavy cloud? Glockenspiel and hollow bone I am dancing here alone Trombone sighs a low refrain Washing out the velvet stain [Breakdown] (Harpsichord trills intensify) (String trio descends in minor scales) (Muted trombone echoes the theme) [Chorus] Oh, the marble starts to weep Promises we couldn't keep Twisting like the rising mist Lips the winter never kissed Time is frozen in the glass Watching all the seasons pass [Post-Chorus] Spinning through the frozen air Ribbons in my powdered hair Everything is made of lace Vanishing without a trace [Outro]
