歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The iron gate begins to creak The curfew bell is soft and weak I leave my shears beside the rose To where the glass cathedral glows My pockets hold a scrap of twine And maps where all the planets line Your velvet coat is stained with ink We stand upon the midnight brink [Pre-Chorus] The jasmine vines begin to lace Around your heavy tripod's base A secret kept in velvet dark Within the King's own private park I smell the cedar and the pine And wish your hand was held in mine [Chorus] Through the panes of leaded glass We watched the ancient orbits pass Dewy petals, starlit hair Magic in the heavy air Summer ghosts of D major A gardener and her star-gazer [Post-Chorus] Oh, the light Burned so bright In the quiet of the night [Verse] You spoke of rings around the spheres While I described the garden's fears How peonies would faint and fall Against the cold and limestone wall You tucked a note inside my glove A diagram of distant love With latitudes and longitudes To match our quiet, giddy moods [Chorus] Through the panes of leaded glass We watched the ancient orbits pass Dewy petals, starlit hair Magic in the heavy air Summer ghosts of D major A gardener and her star-gazer [Bridge] Now the clavichord plays on Though the summer heat is gone I find a pamphlet, worn and thin With dusty secrets kept within A dried-up rose from years ago Beneath the lunar, silver glow It falls upon my wrinkled lap A floral heart upon your map [Interlude] [Chorus] Through the panes of leaded glass We watched the ancient orbits pass Dewy petals, starlit hair Magic in the heavy air Summer ghosts of D major A gardener and her star-gazer [Post-Chorus] Oh, the light Burned so bright In the quiet of the night Petals fall Stars will call We were masters of it all [Outro]
