Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Shavings fall like winter snow On the floor where shadows grow Ancient oak from royal ground Waiting for a ghost of sound [Verse] Jasmine through the broken glass Watching all the seasons pass In the greenhouse, dark and deep Secrets that the gardens keep [Pre-Chorus] The Great War took the song away In the mud where heroes lay But I hold the chisel tight Through the lonely, hollow night [Chorus] Oh, let the spruce and maple cry Underneath a heavy sky I will love you till I die Never asking for a why Unfinished duets in the wood Understood as only lovers could [Verse] Varnish smells of amber tears Polishing the wasted years I can feel your steady hand Leading me to promised land [Bridge] French horns swell and strings divide Nowhere left for grief to hide Celesta sparks like frozen stars Healing all the jagged scars The cor anglais begins to moan Like a king upon his throne [Verse] The coda ends on fraying hair Lingering in the heavy air Your initials etched in gold Stories that were never told The garden oak begins to wake For a lonely lover's sake [Chorus] Oh, let the spruce and maple cry Underneath a heavy sky I will love you till I die Never asking for a why Unfinished duets in the wood Understood as only lovers could [Outro]
