From the recording SnowQueen
Lyrics
So late to the party, you whisper my name
The long ‘Hello’ kiss, faint taste of cocaine
And heaven knows, you’ve been away so long
And your eyes are so wide like you’ve seen a ghost
It must have been years since you held me this close
I never thought I’d see your face again
All the secrets lovers share
All that we avoid
All that’s solid melts into the air
There’s a riot going on in the depth of my heart
Where I buried all the things that we said in the dark
I’ve tried so hard, but I just can’t forget
How a flood of regret swept you out of my life
Now I don’t really feel like turning that tide
I’m not the only one who was under your spell
All the secrets lovers share
All that we avoid
All that’s solid melts into the air
There’s a picture in my mind, but it’s frozen in time
Of a boy and a girl on the lower east side
She’s wild like the wind, she can’t stay
Now winter’s so cold, it’s starting to snow
Ghosts reappear and they’re wearing our clothes
All that’s solid melts into the air
The Snow Queen’s calling you
The Snow Queen’s calling you
It’s been so long
It’s been so long
It’s been so long
It’s been so long
A pile of dust won’t keep you warm
All that’s solid melts into the air
