Barberini Square Lyrics - Cherry Ghost

Where the fountains freeze 

and teetering heels fall to their knees 

in disrepair 

a dozen limping midnights 

leave me there 

Where the vandals loot 

and no magnum opus 

dares to stoop 

the cupboards bare 

drag your heels to Barberini Square 

I close my fist around 

the poles from north to south 

no blushes to burn 

long, long gone 

nothing to no-one 

moving on, moving on 

I have watched the trains 

pulling away time and again 

from platforms stains 

with lovers tears 

and grateful arms the same 

Just a name to sing 

cross white hot coals 

a winter wind 

to climb the stairs 

and grace my lips on Barberini Square 

I close my fist around 

the poles from north to south 

no blushes to burn 

long, long gone 

nothing to no-one 

moving on, moving on 

In a certain light 

your face could launch 

a bare knuckle fight 

with scowls to spare 

drag your heels to Barberini Square 

I close my fist around 

the poles from north to south 

no blushes to burn 

long, long gone 

nothing to no-one 

moving on, moving on 

Long gone, long, long gone
