White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
They said I had a fairy heart
From my early days
Sweet and light and empty
Made to love but never stay
So as fast as my wings could carry me
I floated far away
And fell into this place
Suspended between the night and day
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
The men they come and bring me things
From places in my dreams
Fruit and silk and roses
Weathered hands present to me
One day I’ll build a house of gold
From what they lay at my feet
If I stay laughing singing dancing
And that one other thing —
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight —
But when the sun gets dark
I feel pins sticking in
To my butterfly wings
And my fairy heart
Beats through my skin
And all that’s in me begs
For the spring
Where it’s dark enough to hide
But easier to see
In the grey the haze the in between
A girl like me is meant to be
Sweet and light and empty…
White chapel white chapel
Red light
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
White chapel, red light, under the midnight sun
