lyrics

My soul is in the key of C sharp
It is here in the notes and the rhyme
And the not enough time
And the music bouncing off this old harp

My heart is in this rosewood rim
It rattles the wood of this case
And the echoes fade away
Where no one hears and the lights are dim

No crowds are here inside this old hall
Here in this safe place for none
Now I’m too tired to run
Really no more of me left here at all

I am so alone inside this place
No one will find me here now
I will never know how
I will never be rid of her beautiful face

Beneath my touch, this polished spruce
Bronze around silken strings
So I reach for these things
I call out for you now don’t turn me loose

A minor will be my epitaph
The notes will be here in this book
Where not a soul will even look
They will hear me no more no tears no laugh

I’d given up I’d sealed my heart in stone
I can’t believe that it’s true
That my heart at last touched you
I have waited so long for you to come home
