Vanessa Carlton - Half a Week Before Winter lyrics

Album: Harmonium (2004)

Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
And I am a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs

He sits behind a desk of mahogany
He whispers dreams into my ear
And though I have given him his empire
He delivers me my fear

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look & burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand, swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head & know the streets are mine tonight

The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look & burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry

The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on, I carry on
We carry on
