Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

Album: Harmonium

Half A Week Before The Winter Lyrics

Half a week before the winter

 The chill bites before it comes

 And I'm a child of the pleasure

 Daddy brings before he runs

 

 He sits behind a desk of mahogany

 He whispers dreams into my ear

 And though I've givin him his empire

 He delivers me my fear

 

 The unicorns are riding high

 Powerful in coats of white

 I turn to look and burn my eyes

 I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise

 As I stand swallowed by the light

 Flickering above the highway

 I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight

 

 The vampires are growing tired

 The coats of white all turn to red

 My heart burns with desire

 I carry on, I carry on

 

 The unicorns are riding high

 Powerful in coats of white

 We turn to look and burn our eyes

 I carry on, I carry

 The vampires are growing tired

 The coats of white all turn to red

 My heart burns with desire

 I carry on, I carry on

 I carry on

 I carry on

 We carry on
