Ariel Lyrics

The silver fox has shed its tail now

Left it by the frozen water

The leaves were drifting down

Now they are gone, gone, gone

I draw milady's carriage

Ever since her horse retired

I don't think I can pull much longer

I've never been this tired before

Up jump the black chain dancers

Empty hands that grasp for answers

Fasten on to one another, fly

Fly away

Ariel is sweetly singing

Wait you, just one more season

You're not blind, you only hide your

Eyes within your hands, within your hands

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

There is no night like this night

Where candles burn through daylight

Minds restrained by golden tethers fade

Fade away

The sun objects with smiling sadness

Roman highways laced in diamonds

Sink like grave Atlantis into

Dreams of other days they fade away

Monuments to crippled madness

Puppets dangle in the treetops

The cold magician carves his voice in stone

Then flies away, then flies away

Ariel sings overhead

Deaf men mouth the words she's said

But they don't hear the songs she's singing now

Oh no, not now

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

As wild and unholy place

As any place I've ever been

You can knock and knock and knock

No one comes to let you in, no one comes

As solid and as fine a floor

As any floor I've walked upon

Broke beneath my footsteps

I've got no place left to stand, not any more

Loves to love and not to chain

Some are lost but some remain

Nothing can replace the light

That once has died turned to night, no one can

If I had the sense to know

Which things count and which are show

I'd hold my fate within my hands

Instead of all these chains and bands

Yes, I would

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel

Ariel, Ariel
