The Glassblower's Apprentice

[Intro]
[Verse]
The furnace fires grow cold
No iron pipe to hold
The master left today
He packed his tools away
[Pre-Chorus]
The canal is bright gold
Like the stories he told
Now the shadows slowly creep
While the cold Murano waters sleep
[Chorus]
I trace the stem of glass
How fast the summers pass
A half-made rose of red
With every vow we said
The chimes ring clear and slow
In the embers' dying glow
[Verse]
I touch the carnival cup
The memories bubbling up
The masks of silver thread
Where secret dancers tread
He taught my hands to spin
The glowing breath within
[Pre-Chorus]
The canal is bright gold
Like the stories he told
Now the shadows slowly creep
While the cold Murano waters sleep
[Chorus]
I trace the stem of glass
How fast the summers pass
A half-made rose of red
With every vow we said
The chimes ring clear and slow
In the embers' dying glow
[Bridge]
Spin the wheel, blow the air
No one is standing there
The viola plays a song
For a love that went wrong
The dust falls like snow
It is time to let go
[Chorus]
I trace the stem of glass
How fast the summers pass
A half-made rose of red
With every vow we said
The chimes ring clear and slow
In the embers' dying glow
[Outro]
