Dark, small, so fragile

A treasure to your heart

Grace your fingers across the lacquer

Think of someone miles away

Piano sounds that bow in the distance

Bring me back to my room again

Ten thousand miles away

My memory is leaking

She lost a ruby thing

Trying to focus, times in the past

The music has stopped and can't carry on

All of a sudden I start to remember

Summer, Germany, then it's gone

Ten thousand miles away

The dancers are sleepy

The keys are put away

The jewel on my jacket talking, talking

Telling stories everyone's heard

My box of ghosts bids me goodnight

Clockwork spirits have the last word

Ten thousand miles away
