Nocturne of Desire

I've watched the ivy climb the stone Counting the centuries alone

Dust on the velvet,

silent hall

Waiting for shadow-steps to fall

Oh, tear the heavy drapes away And sweep me from this cold

decay Beneath the pale and frozen sky Where

only ancient lovers lie (ahhh)

The candles burn to wax and tears

Bridging the silent, hollow years Unlatch the heavy iron door

And hold me till I weep no more

Oh, tear the heavy drapes away And sweep me from this cold

decay Beneath the pale and frozen sky Where

only ancient lovers lie (ahhh) I

am waiting...

In the dark, I wait...
