Cobalt Pavane

[Intro]
[Verse]
The furnace glows in red
My tears are quietly shed
The molten sand turns bright
Into the velvet night
The iron pipe is cold
A story left untold
[Pre-Chorus]
The embers start to fade
Upon the marble floor
A lonely vow we made
Beside the open door
[Chorus]
This half-blown cobalt glass
Will watch the seasons pass
To lands of gold and spice
At such a heavy price
[Post-Chorus]
The oars disturb the deep
The dark canals are still
The city falls to sleep
Against my frozen will
[Break]
[Verse]
You sailed into the East
Where hope has long deceased
The salt is on my face
Within this empty space
The ashes start to fall
Upon the studio wall
[Pre-Chorus]
The embers start to fade
Upon the marble floor
A lonely vow we made
Beside the open door
[Chorus]
This half-blown cobalt glass
Will watch the seasons pass
To lands of gold and spice
At such a heavy price
[Bridge]
The strings begin to play
To wash my grief away
The bells ring soft and clear
For one who is not here
The water reflects the moon
You left the shore too soon
My hands are burned and scarred
The winter wind is hard
[Chorus]
This half-blown cobalt glass
Will watch the seasons pass
To lands of gold and spice
At such a heavy price
[Post-Chorus]
The oars disturb the deep
The dark canals are still
The city falls to sleep
Against my frozen will
[Outro]
