Track Insight / Lyrics
In Amsterdam's misty shroud, where canals whisper low
An antique violin lies still, its notes long since blown
By Netherlandish winter's chill, its beauty slowly fades
Once it sang with passion's fire, but now it's rattled shades
Yet whispers still reach my ear, its secrets whispered low
Of the love it once conveyed, the hearts it made aglow
In silence, I hear its plea, to come and play the part
To breathe life into its strings, and soothe its troubled heart
Oh, viola, let your voice rise, in this winter's chill
Sing through the misty Amsterdam night, let your soul stand still
In the canal's ethereal hush, where shadows creep and cling
Let your lament be a solace, and bring the Bridge's heart to sing
The Bridge of Sighs, a hallowed space, where dreams are built to last
Yet here this violin remains, a relic of a distant past
In solitude, it slowly rots, its beauty lost to time
No hand now holds its position, to coax its melodies sublime
Yet whispers still reach my ear, its secrets whispered low
Of the love it once conveyed, the hearts it made aglow
In silence, I hear its plea, to come and play the part
To breathe life into its strings, and soothe its troubled heart
Oh, viola, let your voice rise, in this winter's chill
Sing through the misty Amsterdam night, let your soul stand still
In the canal's ethereal hush, where shadows creep and cling
Let your lament be a solace, and bring the Bridge's heart to sing
As I hold this ancient friend, I feel its spirit keen
A longing to be heard once more, to touch the heart again
In tender fingers, I will guide it, soothe its trembling frame
And let its haunting melody become a prayer for healing flame
Oh, viola, let your voice rise, in this winter's chill
Sing through the misty Amsterdam night, let your soul stand still
In the canal's ethereal hush, where shadows creep and cling
Let your lament be a solace, and bring the Bridge's heart to sing
(Guitar fade-out, synths slowly recede, leaving the violin's lingering elegy)
