Текст песни
I’ve seen the world in a velvet light
Danced on the edge of the summer night
Diamonds in my eyes, silver on my tongue
Believing that the world would stay forever young
I built a palace out of cards and dreams
By the rushing water of the sapphire streams
But the sun is setting on the marble floor
And I’m not sure who I am anymore
Will you hold my hand when the lights go dim
When the wine runs dry and the walls close in
When the gala ends and the guests all leave
Will you be the one who still believes
Will you love me when the gold begins to rust
When our empire turns back into dust
I know you love the way I shine today
But will you stay when the color fades to grey
Dear Lord, I hope you’ll tell me that you will
That you’ll love me when the world is standing still
I’ve got my pearls and my vintage lace
But time is a shadow on a beautiful face
We spent our riches like they’d never end
Making every heartbeat a trend to defend
But the stage is quiet and the curtains tear
And I’m looking for you through the smoky air
Is it just the glamour that you’re fighting for
Or do you love the soul behind the heavy door
Will you hold my hand when the lights go dim
When the wine runs dry and the walls close in
When the gala ends and the guests all leave
Will you be the one who still believes
Will you love me when the gold begins to rust
When our empire turns back into dust
I know you love the way I shine today
But will you stay when the color fades to grey
Dear Lord, I hope you’ll tell me that you will
That you’ll love me when the world is standing still
The seasons change, the ivy dies
But I see the heavens in your eyes
If beauty is a fever, I don’t want to wake
Take all the pieces that the winters break
Just tell me I’m yours, even when I’m old
Even when the fire turns to bitter cold
Will you love me when the gold begins to rust
When our empire turns back into dust
I know you love the way I shine today
But will you stay when the color fades to grey
When the color fades to grey
Will you stay
I know you will
I know you will
The world is standing still
