Verse 1: Male

Black stone stairwell, rain on the glass

Your silver key turns slow as you pass

I hear the old house counting the hours

A red thread caught in the dead ivy flowers

Verse 2: Female

I kept your letter beneath the floor

The ink ran dark by the cellar door

You said the portrait would tell me why

But both its eyes were turned to the sky

Pre-Chorus: Male and Female

Hold that breath, don't cross the line

One more step and the walls unwind

Chorus: Male and Female, Harmony

Come down, come down where the stone roots wind

Your name is carved in the fault of mine

Come close, come close though the cold bells ring
