[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]
            
I'll play upon

      
 my violin
          
Until the moun

       
tains ring
            
Of lonely laug

            
hter blindly t

hrown
           
Across an endl

        
ess arc of str

ings
             
And the skies 

          
are set to dan

     
cing to
           
A silent symph

  
ony
             
And the velvet

            
 voices all sh

    
all join
    
The singing

[Instrumental]
   

[Verse 2]
            
The hall is fi

           
lled to every 


corner
             
By a tinkling 

     
hint of chimes
           
A melody caree

       
ns and crumble

s
           
Leaving just a

      
 trace behind
            
A rhythm falte

          
ring faintly f

ails
           
The silver on 

      
it's wings
             
And the velvet

            
 voices all sh

    
all join
    
The singing

[Instrumental]
   

[Verse 3]
            
The cymbals fl

           
ash, the drums

      
 they crash
            
The trumpets r

#     
ise to song
            
The brass bato

             
n plucks bits 

   
of diamonds
             
From a glitter

          
ing wall of al

    
most dawn
            
The crystal ch

           
ords they slas

      
h the wind
           
In humble maje

 
sty
             
And the velvet

            
 voices all sh

    
all join
    
The singing

[Outro]
