Lyric

Glass Steps at Midnight

Nocturne Echo

I came in satin blue

Past mirrored doors and gold

Your hand was warm as wine

Mine felt a little old

The chandeliers were kind

They kept our shadows small

We moved like borrowed names

In that high marble hall

And I knew, I knew

This hour had a price

Your smile touched my sleeve

Like frost on polished ice

Glass steps at midnight

Hold me, hold me

Glass steps at midnight

Don’t let me fall

Glass steps at midnight

Spin me slowly

If this is goodbye

Let it be this tall

Your laugh brushed past my ear

Like pearls against a cup

I watched your dark suit fold

As if the room gave up

The band played through the haze

We circled, slow and near

I almost said your name

But the floor was all I heard

And I knew, I knew

The moon was turning thin

A perfect little crack

Running through the skin

Glass steps at midnight

Hold me, hold me

Glass steps at midnight

Don’t let me fall

Glass steps at midnight

Spin me slowly

If this is goodbye

Let it be this tall

Maybe we were never

Built for morning light

Just one more silver turn

Inside the velvet night

So keep my gloved hand close

For this one last refrain

I’ll wear the ache like silk

And never call it pain

Glass steps at midnight

Hold me, hold me

Glass steps at midnight

Don’t let me fall

Glass steps at midnight

Spin me slowly

If this is goodbye

Let it be this tall
