lyrics

The mirror cracks, the raven talks
A woman opens up a box
And watches in surprise
The forest walks, the river burns
Upon a dime the planet turns
The oceans meet the skies
Stranger at the library door
And I am changed for evermore
A duckling to a swan
Queenly sweep of silken sleeve
And everything that i believed is wrong

It only takes a single twist
A flicker of a bracelet on a wrist
A telephone to ring
Freeze the frame; the world is still
I feel the same but know I never will be
In anything, Annabel
A lunar scholar knows the phases
Of the moon, and so I followed you,
And I am following

Caviar and feathers fine
A hotel bar, a chorus line
A new scene to rehearse
I learned the things that you preferred
I hung upon your every word
I read you like a verse
The things we do just to belong
And yes I knew that it was wrong
But still I couldn't stop
A poisoned chalice is a thrill
Into wonderland I fell
And chased another drop

Stranger at the library door
I am changed for evermore
With a wave of magic wand
We stand upon a wooded slope
And see the world we know, and hope to see a wider world beyond
