The nightingale is still locked in the cage
The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
An old oak sheltering me from the blue
Sun bathing on its dead frozen leavesA catnap in the ghost town of my heart
She dreams of story time and the river ghosts
Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the ride
Raving harlequins, gigantic toysA song of me song in need
Of a courageous symphony
A verse of me verse in need
Of a pure-heart singing me to peaceAll that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angelwingAll that great heart lying still
In silent suffering
Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
What is left for encore
Is the same old dead boy's song
Sung in silence
All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angelwingA midnight flight into Covington Woods
A princess and a panther by my side
These are territories I live for
I'd still give my everything to love you moreA song of me song in need
Of a courageous symphony
A verse of me verse in need
Of a pure-heart singing me to peaceAll that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angelwingNow all that great heart lying still
In silent suffering
Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
What is left for encore
Is the same old dead boy's song
Sung in silence
All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angelwingA silent symphony
A hollow opus one, two, threeSometimes the sky is piano black
Piano black over cleansing watersResting pipes, verse of bore
Rusting keys without a doorSometimes the within is piano black
Piano black over cleansing watersAll that great heart lying still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
All that great heart lying still on an angelwing
