So now I'm left alone

Inside my dusky room

The shades are slightly grown

They grabble in the gloom



[Chorus:]

Glissading by the window-sill

Suspiring in the nightly still

They slowly ride the wooden floor

Entrapping scents from outdoor



Fantastic shapes

Are dancing on the velvet drapes

Grimacing in the reel

In endless fuss

They silently discuss

The secrets that I can't reveal



[Chorus]

Glissading by the window-sill

Suspiring in the nightly still

They slowly ride the wooden floor

Entrapping scents from outdoor



But maybe they actually want to believe in

The frail and illusory system they live in

Maybe they think they are sovereign wights

Being the echoes of lights



[Chorus]

Glissading by the window-sill

Suspiring in the nightly still

They slowly ride the wooden floor

Entrapping scents from outdoor



Forevermore...
