The Symphony

Album: Fallen Empires (2011)

  • Wooden floors, wooden floors whisper
    And they creak under your sockless feet
    A secret door, a door undiscovered
    You knock so gently in case you're heard
    A record plays a song that you've not heard
    It is perfect, it is home
    Everything now, everything's different
    It is sweeter on your tongue

    'Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream,
    The engine's more a sigh than a scream,
    Your ghosts look more like angels from there,
    The coast comes like a raft of warm air,
    'Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream,
    The engine's more a sigh than a scream,
    Your ghosts look more like angels from there,
    The coast comes like a raft of warm air

    A symphony slow music of longing
    Plays in movements inside your head
    There are no ghosts, no ghosts that can shake you
    Like they used to, anymore

    'Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream,
    The engine's more a sigh than a scream,
    Your ghosts look more like angels from there,
    The coast comes like a raft of warm air,
    You can see the road ahead in your dream,
    The engine's more a sigh than a scream,
    Your ghosts look more like angels from there,
    The coast comes like a raft of warm air
