[Introduction] (A solitary, echoing piano playing a slow 3/4 waltz time, layered with lush, weeping strings) [Verse 1] Dust settles down on the old marble stone Where I sit on the staircase and whisper alone The ballroom is empty, the chandeliers dead But I still hear the words that you never quite said [Chorus] Spin me around in the shadow of the tomb Lost in the fragrance of a dying black bloom A vintage romance spinning deep in the groove Two static phantoms who are frozen to move [Verse 2] The lace on your gown has all turned into gray Like the mist on the river at the ending of day You smile through the cobwebs, a beautiful fright As we step out together in the cold candlelight [Chorus] Spin me around in the shadow of the tomb Lost in the fragrance of a dying black bloom A vintage romance spinning deep in the groove Two static phantoms who are frozen to move [Instrumental Solo] (Lush, swelling symphonic string section playing a haunting, dramatic waltz melody) [Bridge] The clock on the mantle hasn't ticked in a year The music is faint but it's perfectly clear Hold onto my ghost till the morning breaks through Even though there's no morning for me or for you [Chorus] Spin me around in the shadow of the tomb Lost in the fragrance of a dying black bloom A vintage romance spinning deep in the groove Two static phantoms who are frozen to move [Outro] (The waltz tempo slows down drastically, a single violin plays a long, fading note into vinyl crackle) [Fade to End]
