Song lyrics

Send "Half a Week Before Winter" ringtones to your cell

Half a week before the winter 
The chill bites before it comes 
And I'm a child of the pleasure 
That he brings before he runs 

He sits behind a desk of mahogany 
He whispers dreams into my ear 
Though I've given him his empire 
He delivers me my fear 

The unicorns are riding high 
Powerful in coats of white 
I turn to look, but 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

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is beautiful - one of my favorites! The lyrics have somewhat of a double meaning, which makes the song so mysterious. It's a sad song, but again, beautiful! The instruments sound excellent, especially the piano and the trumpet.
