Velvet Coffin Waltz

We glide through candlelit halls tonight

Velvet footsteps in the amber light

Your hand in mine like a quiet vow

Even the mirrors are listening now

And we dance, we dance the velvet dark

Spinning slow where the candle flames spark

I'm falling in love with the shadows themselves

In your arms, in the hush, I can't help but melt

Oh, we dance, we dance till the night leans in

With a sigh on the cello and a trembling grin

I'm falling in love with the shadow themselves

And they hold us close like a secret's tell

The walls wear lace and the midnight blooms

The trumpet sighs in the jeweled rooms

Your breath is soft as the winter rain

And every step unseals my name

And we dance, we dance in the velvet dark

Spinning slow where the candle flames spark

Falling in love with the shadows themselves

In your arms, in the hush, I can't help but melt

Oh, we dance, we dance till the night leans in

With a sigh on the cello and a trembling grin

I'm falling in love with the shadows themselves

And they hold us close like a seated spell

Let the organ hum through the chapel air

Let the choir of ghosts dissolve our prayer

If love is a hunt, then I'm not afraid

I was born for the wolves, not the moonlight

And we dance, we dance with the velvet dark

Spinning swell where the candle flames spark

I'm falling in love with the shadows themselves

In your arms, in the hush, I can't help but melt

Oh, we dance, we dance till the night things end

With a sigh on the cello and a trembling grin

I am falling in love with the shadows themselves

Forever in the glow of the candlelit spell
