I turn the knob, knowing that no one's there

A piano is playing somewhere far away

And the notes, like the bubbles in champagne,

Disappear, whirling, relieving my pain



You are on one side, I am on the other

Holding back the words that I never spoke

You are on one side, I am on the other

While the notes seem to be so close



Crazy thoughts of mine race and then wither

My cheeks are wet, and I know why

My hungry lips are whispering your name

You're far away 

Futile

It's futile to cry



A warm night, walls blooming, flowers sleeping

In this hush I tell the time by the heart

It doesn't matter what you're dreaming of now

And where you are, while I



Tell you finally, tell you so slowly

The words that you have never heard from me

Slowly tell you that... the night wrapped all in black

That the distant piano will keep playing

Futile

It's futile to cry



I love you though all my dreams are long gone

I love you though I've got no tales to live on

Scarlett is dying but Graphite stays the same

I love you so much - when I...



I turn the knob, knowing that no one's there

The piano is still playing, somewhere far away

It's a concert, my heart bears the keys

Love

It's love I feel



I love you though all my dreams are long gone

I love you though I've got no tales to live on 

Scarlett is dying but Graphite stays the same

I love you so much when I hear the piano play
