[Verse 1: Simon] [Warm synth pads, strings sweep gently, soft piano accents] Cobblestones shine with the rain’s afterglow, Prague’s heavy curtains hide secrets below. Kate drags me through arches, laughter in flight, Café lights flicker, whispers ignite. [Low strings swell, synth echoes] A ballroom entrance, gilded and grand, Masks on the faces, gloved fingers and hands. I hover by shadows, hands in my coat, A stranger walks past, slipping me a note. [Chorus: Simon] We waltz through the echoes of chandeliers bright, Ghosts in the mirrors, silver and light. Her hand in mine, footsteps align, In the Prague waltz, our shadows entwine. [Verse 2: Simon] [Orchestral swell, heartbeat-like rhythm] Her eyes are like embers, she pulls me along, I stumble, she laughs, I try to be strong. The violins sigh, the chandeliers sway, I forget where I’m from, what I’m meant to say. [Pause, strings drop out, heartbeat pulse remains] I follow her lead, my hands find their place, A mask hides her eyes, but not her grace. We turn and we spin—time falls apart, I swear for a moment, I hear her heart. [Chorus: Simon, Stronger Vocals] We waltz through the echoes of chandeliers bright, Ghosts in the mirrors, silver and light. Her hand in mine, footsteps align, In the Prague waltz, our shadows entwine. [Bridge: Simon, Spoken Word Over Waltz Synths] [Soft whispers, distant violin swells] "Do I know you?" I ask, breathless and stunned. She just smiles and says, “Not yet… but you will.” [Pause, heartbeat rhythm, chandeliers flicker] The note she left—folded with care, One single word: “Vienna.” [Synth swells back up, heartbeat fades out] [Chorus: Simon, Haunting Harmony] We waltz through the echoes of chandeliers bright, Ghosts in the mirrors, silver and light. Her hand in mine, footsteps align, In the Prague waltz, our shadows entwine. *[Outro: Fading Orchestral Waltz, Soft Echoes] [Distant ballroom echoes, violin fades] She disappears in the crowd, I’m left with the note. Prague whispers… Vienna calls.
