Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The dust is gilded in the beam Of morning's pale and silver dream I turn the heavy vellum page To find a ghost of another age Your ink has faded to a gray Like shadows at the end of day [Pre-Chorus] Here the Hunter, there the Bear Drawn with such a tender care Rococo curves and swirls of gold Stories that we never told [Chorus] Oh, the stars are fixed and bright Burning through the Viennese night Though the fever stole your breath We are bound beyond our death In the charts and in the glow Of the love we used to know I will wait for you to stay While the heavens drift away [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, the stars remain) (Ooh, through the winter rain) [Verse] The palace floor was cold and wide We wore our masks and stepped aside Beneath the crystal chandelier I whispered secrets in your ear The frost upon the windowpane Wrote out your name in frozen rain [Pre-Chorus] I touch the paper, feel the heart Tucked inside your lonely chart I follow every line you trace To find the contour of your face [Chorus] Oh, the stars are fixed and bright Burning through the Viennese night Though the fever stole your breath We are bound beyond our death In the charts and in the glow Of the love we used to know I will wait for you to stay While the heavens drift away [Bridge] Red wax melts and drips like tears Sealing all our golden years The viola sighs a low lament For every hour that we spent Arpeggios climb the spiral stair But you are never standing there [Verse] I track the transit of the sun Until my daily work is done The folio rests against my chest Where aching memories go to rest Smallpox took the man I knew But not the light I found in you [Chorus] Oh, the stars are fixed and bright Burning through the Viennese night Though the fever stole your breath We are bound beyond our death In the charts and in the glow Of the love we used to know I will wait for you to stay While the heavens drift away [Post-Chorus] (Fixed as stars above) (Is our quiet, timeless love) [Outro]
