Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The iron gates of the mansion closed
Seven winters spent in silent wait
Watching coffee cups and carefully posed
Words I never had the nerve to state
But the heavy truth finally hit the floor
A sudden breath in the library air
She turned the handle on the bolted door
And found the answer waiting for her there
[Chorus]
Then the bells rang out across the square
A wedding dress left in the open aisle
She left the rings and the golden prayer
To trade the altar for a crooked smile
Running fast through the morning dew
Climbing the steps of that heavy steel home
Breathless and bright, looking for something new
Leaving the past to wander alone
[Verse 2]
The engine rumbled on the dusty road
Coffee steaming in a paper cup
Heavy heart finally shed its load
She pulled the window and she looked me up
No more playing parts in a play I didn't write
No more standing behind a velvet rope
Just a promise made in the breaking light
A brand new map for the reach of hope
[Chorus]
Then the bells rang out across the square
A wedding dress left in the open aisle
She left the rings and the golden prayer
To trade the altar for a crooked smile
Running fast through the morning dew
Climbing the steps of that heavy steel home
Breathless and bright, looking for something new
Leaving the past to wander alone
[Outro]
Across the border, into the blue
Just us two
Out of the aisle and into the drive
Finally alive
Finally alive
