Behind the veil, skin as pale as a virgin Fear valvet red, drapes the bed like a curtain Mix the elixir she drinks from her vial Give her the river that soothes her denial --what have I got to do with it?-- --what have I got to do with it?-- Chorus Far from the world that she's in Away from all she resents If she forgives herself, depends On Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge How long has she been sleeping? Beauty's only skin-deep If she forgives herself depends On Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge Hanging my head on her bed, I am waiting I stand on guard for her heart, yet she hates me I steal the kiss right from her lips Stealing kisses from her lips I steal them softly while she's sleeping I feel the fault - all I can feel I taste the salt - it tastes so real Oh, I can taste it when she's weeping --what have I got to do with it?-- --what have I got to do with it?-- Repeat chorus Bridge In every shadow there's a Deeper reason searching for a seam In every nightmare there's A darker meaning waiting for a dream If I could take you from this Corner, if I could shake you from this spell The cold would seem a little Warmer, heaven knows it must be hell For you to stand in frozen Silence, while I dance over your grave You never reached out through The violets, ever asking to be saved And if winter could meet Summer, could they tell each other apart? What's life worth without a Little change of weather in your heart?
