A restless drive on desert roads Avoiding the perils of stormy seas I came to you A Saturday That freezing December that numbed the hearts White Venice You'll waste away in there White Venice You'll waste away in there And you were there Shape divine Black hair on black eyes that sparkled dark With a dreamy air I followed you To places of silence that burned the hearts White Venice You'll waste away in there White Venice You'll waste away in there It's just like the winter on my skin, cold deep inside So, I'm just going to wait it out, until you say a fine word to throw it all away, breaking me free From this icy thorny spiral The blur - It became so clear in my soul Slow is the climb over walls Walls made of tears and adieus The loss - It became so clear in my soul I crack a smile at this joke Because this life, because this life makes no sense Godspeed And when the light fades, lead me astray Or ghosts will come to me I need to sail away on seas of disarray Was I so wrong when I said that goodbyes sound better when one is deaf And all I asked To the queen Was to remember, remember me White Venice You'll waste away in there White Venice You'll waste away in there It's just like the winter on my skin, cold deep inside So, I'm just going to wait it out, until you say a fine word to throw it all away, breaking me free From this icy thorny spiral The blur - It became so clear in my soul Slow is the climb over walls Walls made of tears and adieus The loss - It became so clear in my soul I crack a smile at this joke Because this life, because this life makes no sense
