Adagio in D Minor

[Verse 1] Late light on the windowsill Dust drifting in slow circles Clock ticks like a distant train Going somewhere I don't follow [Chorus] Adagio in D minor You’re the theme I never learned Every note a quiet answer To a question that still burns Hold this aching just a little longer Let it tremble Let it turn Adagio in D minor Playing on while I return [Verse 2] Tea gone cold on the bedside Pages open Words run dry Your name in the margin Fades each time I pass it by [Chorus] Adagio in D minor You’re the theme I never learned Every note a quiet answer To a question that still burns Hold this aching just a little longer Let it tremble Let it turn Adagio in D minor Playing on while I return [Bridge] If I breathe too loud It breaks it (shh) If I speak The sound will fade So I sit inside the silence Letting your old echo play [Chorus] Adagio in D minor You’re the theme I never learned Every note a quiet answer To a question that still burns Keep this moment hanging in the air now Till the final chords have turned Adagio in D minor Ends And still my heart returns
