The Room Changed Color

Intro The room changed color When I crossed the floor Candles leaned closer Shadows wanted more No crown, no warning No need to explain Some women arrive softly And nothing stays the same Verse 1 I wore the night like satin With roses in my hair A little gold on my eyelids A little storm in the air I wasn’t looking for devotion I wasn’t asking to be seen But the silence turned to velvet When it wrapped itself round me There are secrets in my walking There are prayers in my eyes I don’t need to raise my voice To make the dark arise Pre-Chorus Let them wonder what I carry Let them whisper what I am I am tenderness with thunder I am moonlight with a plan Chorus I don’t chase the night The night turns to me I don’t beg for light I glow naturally I don’t need a kingdom I don’t need a throne When I enter softly The whole room knows I don’t chase the night The night turns to me Verse 2 There was music in the ceiling There was smoke around the glass Every silver little mirror Started shining when I passed I move like midnight satin I glow like candle wine Every step becomes a secret Every glance becomes a sign I can smile like summer rain I can look like winter wine I can make a quiet evening Feel almost divine Pre-Chorus 2 Don’t mistake my quiet beauty For something simple, something small I am soft like falling petals But I can enchant it all Chorus I don’t chase the night The night turns to me I don’t beg for light I glow naturally I don’t need a kingdom I don’t need a throne When I enter softly The whole room knows I don’t chase the night The night turns to me Bridge Let the violins confess it Let the chandeliers breathe slow I am not a passing feeling I am velvet in full glow I am silk across the evening I am gold beneath the rain I am every hidden shimmer Dancing softly into flame Final Chorus I don’t chase the night The night turns to me I don’t beg for light I glow naturally I don’t need a kingdom I don’t need a throne When I enter softly The whole room knows I don’t chase the night The night turns to me Outro The room changed color When I crossed the floor I left like a secret But they felt me evermore
