Silent Greetings - Winter Gardens Lyrics

When the strings of air sing, that winter is over
When the blushing steals in and colours your cheeks
Though weak are your bones and hope still seems faded
You take a step slowly, then wake up your dreams

Soft and quiet heartbeats
Away you steal, who can you see?
Hold your breath, you might hear me singing
Along with the rondo of your grief

I feel the desire, warmth runs through my fingers
When you cry out my name and stretch out your hand
But the glass between us, mirror lasting for ever
Love, you're losing your head in Erised

So bury me with flowers and go
I'll be listening to the rain
I'll breathe once more in crimson and blue
And you'll be on your way

Walk with my picture through winter gardens
Let your wool slippers slip on the floor
Hide me in a corner that dies with the sundown
Like a mist of a dream you recall no more

And bury me with flowers and go
I'll be listening to the rain
I'll breathe once more in crimson and blue
And you'll be on your way

Please bury me with flowers, let go
Leave a red holly on my sheets
When the prayer of bells soaks into black robes
Each other in silence we'll greet
Each other in silence we'll greet
