The man was my heart who ran away, I still cry to him until this day Now I see to accept my fate, Walking slowly through the gate The tower really was my own, The thread was tears; sorrow sown
I'm locked up with a spinning wheel I can't recall what it was like to feel I say "This room's gonna be my grave And there's no one who can save me" I sit down to my colored thread I know lovers waking up in their beds I say "How long can I live this way Is there no one I can pay to let me go 'Cause I'm half sick of shadows I want to see the sky Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down So why can't I And it's raining And the stars are falling from the sky And the wind And the wind I know it's cold I've been waiting For the day I will surely die And it's here And it's here for I've been told That I'll die before I'm old And the wind I know it's cold" I look up to the mirrored glass I see a handsome horse and a rider pass I say "That man's gonna be my death 'Cause he's all I ever wanted in my life And I know he's forgot my name And that everyone's faces are the same to him But still I've got to get out of this place 'Cause I don't think I can face another night Where I'm half sick of shadows And I can't see the sky Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in So why can't I And it's raining And the stars are falling from the sky And the wind And the wind I know it's cold I've been waiting For the day I will surely die And it's here And it's here for I've been told That I'll die before I'm old And the wind I know it's cold But there's willow trees And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers And there's moonlight every single night As I'm locked in these towers So I'll meet my death But with my last breath I'll sing to him my love And he'll see my face in another place" And with that the glass above me Cracked into a million bits And I cried out "So the story fits But then I could've guessed it all along 'Cause now my life's set up for misery you'll see" I went down to my little boat And I broke the chain and began to float away And as the blood froze in my veins I said "Well then that explains a thing or two 'Cause I know I'm the cursed one I know I'm meant to die Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie So why can't I And it's raining And the stars are falling from the sky And the wind And the wind I know it's cold I've been waiting For the day I will surely die And it's here And it's here And it's here, and it's here, and it's here It's finally here And it's raining And the stars are falling from the sky And the wind And the wind I know it's cold I've been waiting For the day I will surely die And it's here And it's here for I've been told That I'll die before I'm old And the wind I know it's cold...
