歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Rain streaks the leaded glass Ivory bobbins click and pass Thread like a silver vein Binding the ghost of pain I weave the linen white In the guttering candle light My needle knows the way To keep the dark at bay [Chorus] Oh, the jasmine is dry Under a heavy sky I fold the lace To hide your face A letter for the flame I whisper your name In the hollow of the room Beside the empty loom [Verse] Lute songs in the psalm book Where no one dares to look Balcony vows in the dark Fading like a dying spark The plague took the breath Leaving us only with death Your shadow on the wall Is the heaviest weight of all [Pre-Chorus] The organ hums a low decree A velvet shroud for you and me Theorbo strings begin to weep While all the city is asleep [Chorus] Oh, the jasmine is dry Under a heavy sky I fold the lace To hide your face A letter for the flame I whisper your name In the hollow of the room Beside the empty loom [Solo] [Bridge] Gold on the altar rail Hidden behind the veil Chimes in the winter air Silence is my only prayer The ink is turning grey Just like the light of day I seal the wax with tears Across the lonely years [Chorus] Oh, the jasmine is dry Under a heavy sky I fold the lace To hide your face A letter for the flame I whisper your name In the hollow of the room Beside the empty loom [Post-Chorus] Wait for the morning light Deep in the velvet night Stitch by stitch Make the memory rich Let the trumpet sound In the hallowed ground [Outro]
