lyrics

I saw you in your long, dark, black dress,
I was wondering,
If you were going out to dance tonight.
You looked beautiful,
I saw you in my sleep,
But you looked,
Neither hot nor cold,
Neither glad nor sad.

I saw through the cracks,
I saw splinters in your smile of guilt,
In your white robe of innocence.

You had a rainbow, around you,
Full of diamonds, like an emerald.
You walked on a sea of glass,
Clear and naked,
But your eyes were fierce as fire,
And crows black.

I saw through the cracks,
I saw splinters in your smile of guilt,
In your white robe of innocence.

I looked again,
I saw cracks and splinters,
In my smile of guilt,
In my white robe of innocence,
As it wore heavy on my nakedness,

As it turned a, colorless grey,
As I turned a, colorless grey,
Colorless grey,
So I looked away.

The slightly mysterious voice of singer Elenne is soft, broken and hinting at unknown things, perhaps even the mystery beyond what we can hear." - WoNoBloG ... more
