Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Lace cuffs catching the dust Iron gears start to rust Silver ink on the page Wisdom beyond my age You held the heavy glass Watching the shadows pass [Pre-Chorus] Warm mead in a clay jar Climbing to meet a star Quiet steps on the stone Never felt so alone [Chorus] Oh, the sky was a velvet map Dripping wax in a golden trap We named the silent deep While the village lay in sleep Can you hear the midnight chime? Frozen in a stitch of time Starlight caught in the lace Shadows of your gentle face [Post-Chorus] (Hush now, the bells ring) (Hush now, the stars sing) (Hush now, the bells ring) (Hush now, the stars sing) [Verse] The mount gives a low creak Words we would never speak Glitter on your old sleeve Harder now to believe Jupiter’s moons in line Used to be yours and mine [Pre-Chorus] Honey and cloves in the steam Living a waking dream I guide the brass alone To heights we’ve always known [Chorus] Oh, the sky was a velvet map Dripping wax in a golden trap We named the silent deep While the village lay in sleep Can you hear the midnight chime? Frozen in a stitch of time Starlight caught in the lace Shadows of your gentle face [Bridge] The ink is dry and cold Stories you never told I turn the wheel alone On paths that you have shown The glockenspiel rings clear Wishing that you were here [Verse] I polish the dusty lens Where the dark horizon ends Star-charts yellow and thin Where does the soul begin? I trace the lines you drew Still searching the dark for you Twelve strikes against the glass Watching the seasons pass [Chorus] Oh, the sky was a velvet map Dripping wax in a golden trap We named the silent deep While the village lay in sleep Can you hear the midnight chime? Frozen in a stitch of time Starlight caught in the lace Shadows of your gentle face [Post-Chorus] (Hush now, the bells ring) (Hush now, the stars sing) (Hush now, the bells ring) (Hush now, the stars sing) [Outro]
