Lyric

The ink still shines on your sleeve

Where the circle held tonight

I watched the sugar in the tea

Turn gold, then out of sight

The clock is kind to no one here

It bows and walks away

I count the steps inside the air

Before the spells decay

Three beats left for the moon to stay

Three beats left, then it slips away

Hold my hand

Hold it slow

I can feel the soft lines go

Three beats before

Three beats before

Don't let me lose your face

Three beats before

Three beats before

Say it and make it stay

Three beats before

Three beats before

Your laugh is caught in the glass

Like a bird against the pane

I chase it round the lavender room

But it comes back faint again

The mirror keeps your shadow clear

Then blinks and turns to mist

I swear your name was written there

With a fingertip kiss

Three beats left for the rose to hold

Three beats left, then the story folds

Keep me near

Keep me warm

I can hear the quiet form

Three beats before

Three beats before

Don't let me lose your face

Three beats before

Three beats before

Say it and make it stay

Three beats before

Three beats before

If the spell must leave this room

Let it leave with grace

Leave one thread of silver bloom

One small light on your face

I'll keep the last note in my palm

Like a shell from the shore

And when the dark comes through again

I'll ask for three beats more

Three beats before

Three beats before

Don't let me lose your face

Three beats before

Three beats before

Say it and make it stay

Three beats before

Three beats before

I'm still here in the lace

Three beats before

Three beats before

Till the spell gives way
