The Gilded Dust

[Intro]
[Verse]
Stairs of silver dust
Iron turned to rust
Sunlight hits the pane
Washing out the rain
Lavender and lace
Finding her old face
[Pre-Chorus]
Paper thin and white
Holding on so tight
Watercolors bleed
Everything I need
[Chorus]
Oh, the attic sighs
Under golden skies
Letters tied in blue
Always meant for you
Small and tender grace
In this hollow space
[Post-Chorus]
Softly, she remains
In the window panes
Love is just a seed
Growing through the weed
[Verse]
Clavichord is still
On the window sill
Harp strings hum a tune
To the afternoon
Ribbons made of silk
White as morning milk
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows on the floor
Open up the door
Time is moving slow
Nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
Oh, the attic sighs
Under golden skies
Letters tied in blue
Always meant for you
Small and tender grace
In this hollow space
[Bridge]
She painted half a bird
A song I never heard
But now I hear the beat
Walking on soft feet
The canvas starts to glow
With all she used to know
[Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, the attic sighs
Under golden skies
Letters tied in blue
Always meant for you
Small and tender grace
In this hollow space
[Post-Chorus]
Softly, she remains
In the window panes
Love is just a seed
Growing through the weed
[Outro]
