Gothic Waltz

[Verse]
One two three, the candles bow, one two three, the curtains sway
One two three, the raven counts the hours we dance away
The portraits turn to watch us, the clock forgets to chime
We waltz across the ballroom on the far side of time

[Chorus]
Take my hand, my darling, in the gothic waltz
The floor is made of moonlight and the ceiling made of frost
Round and round the marble, till the morning sets us free
Dance the gothic waltz with me

[Verse]
Your gown is black as midnight, my collar white as bone
The orchestra is playing, though the players have all gone
A chandelier of spiders sings a lullaby above
And every step we take is one more century of love

[Chorus]
Take my hand, my darling, in the gothic waltz
The floor is made of moonlight and the ceiling made of frost
Round and round the marble, till the morning sets us free
Dance the gothic waltz with me

[Bridge]
One two three, one two three
Nobody leaves, nobody leaves

[Chorus]
Take my hand, my darling, in the gothic waltz
The floor is made of moonlight and the ceiling made of frost
Round and round the marble, till the morning sets us free
Dance the gothic waltz with me
