歌词
[Intro] [Verse] The brass astrolabe turns slow Candle wax begins to flow On the parchment, shadows grow Velvet curtains hide the glow I watch the courtyard fountain weep While the silent palace sleeps [Pre-Chorus] The moon is rising high Across the indigo sky I hear your heavy step A secret softly kept [Chorus] Oh, I chart the ancient sky Tracing where the comets fly But your maps are where I lie In the ink, a quiet sigh Latitude of my desire Frozen in the lunar fire [Post-Chorus] Unspoken lines Celestial signs In D minor My heart declines [Verse] You draw the coast of lands With steady, ink-stained hands Calculating shifting sands Ignoring all my heart demands We meet beneath the silver arc Two spirits drifting in the dark [Pre-Chorus] The oboe starts to moan I sit upon my throne Of scrolls and dusty glass Watching the hours pass [Chorus] Oh, I chart the ancient sky Tracing where the comets fly But your maps are where I lie In the ink, a quiet sigh Latitude of my desire Frozen in the lunar fire [Bridge] The English horn begins to play A dirge for things I cannot say The spinet counts the hours away Until the cruel and golden day I roll the scrolls and tie the thread Of every word I never said [Verse] Venus crosses through the gate Governed by a cold estate I am resigned to watch and wait The prisoner of a royal fate Your compass points to north and sea But never points its path to me [Chorus] Oh, I chart the ancient sky Tracing where the comets fly But your maps are where I lie In the ink, a quiet sigh Latitude of my desire Frozen in the lunar fire [Post-Chorus] Unspoken lines Celestial signs In D minor My heart declines [Outro]
