Coffeesmoke - All the Walls Around Her

And looking back her tears had faded the ribbons in her hair
And through the night she heard the whisper of footsteps on the stair
And with all the walls around her
She was rich as she could be
In the house her father built to shut out me

Disappearing mansions, an ancient legacy
She wanted so to stay in fashion
Tarnished gold and silver, every luxury
With her eyes and diamonds flashing
With her eyes and diamonds flashing
She with her eyes and diamonds flashing

Her rooms were dark with velvet curtains that breathed in candlelight
And in the dreams that cast a shadow, she walked in wedding white
And with all the walls around her
She was rich as she could be
In the house her father built to shut out me

Disappearing mansions, an ancient legacy
She wanted so to stay in fashion
Tarnished gold and silver, every luxury
With her eyes and diamonds flashing
With her eyes and diamonds flashing
She with her eyes and diamonds flashing

And through the lace she saw the window that screamed with iron bars
But still she listened in the darkness and counted falling stars
And with all the walls around her
She was rich as she could be
In the house her father built to shut out me
