The Stone and the Clover

[Intro]
[Verse]
Bare feet on the cold stone floor
Creeping past the heavy door
The castle sleeps in silver light
I vanish in the velvet night
Lavender and rosemary
Keep a secret just for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Stars pierce the dark high above
Witness to a hidden love
The iron gate is locked and tight
But my heart takes flight tonight
[Chorus]
I leave a clover dried and gold
A story that was never told
Underneath the dewy ivy leaf
Beyond the reach of any thief
Wait for me
By the sea
I’ll be here when you come home
No more to roam
[Post-Chorus]
Kyrie of the moonlit glade
Where the secret vows are made
Spirit of the stone and vine
Forever yours, forever mine
[Verse]
Armor gleams in far-off lands
Blood upon your weary hands
I touch the wall where you once stood
Carving vows in cedar wood
The tin whistle starts to play
Chasing all the ghosts away
[Pre-Chorus]
Battlements against the sky
Where the silent owls fly
Though the world is cold and wide
I have nowhere left to hide
[Chorus]
I leave a clover dried and gold
A story that was never told
Underneath the dewy ivy leaf
Beyond the reach of any thief
Wait for me
By the sea
I’ll be here when you come home
No more to roam
[Bridge]
Centuries could pass us by
Underneath this gothic sky
The harp is weeping for the brave
Across the salt and bitter wave
I am the lady, you the knight
Bound until the morning light
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
I leave a clover dried and gold
A story that was never told
Underneath the dewy ivy leaf
Beyond the reach of any thief
Wait for me
By the sea
I’ll be here when you come home
No more to roam
[Post-Chorus]
Kyrie of the moonlit glade
Where the secret vows are made
Spirit of the stone and vine
Forever yours, forever mine
[Outro]
