Veil in the Hall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You stood by the door With rain on your coat Your eyes had a season I didn’t know You called my name soft Like you’d said it before The room got colder At the edge of the floor [Pre-Chorus] And the candle bent low When you took my hand I felt the whole house Shift in the sand [Chorus] You came through the veil You came through the veil I was wide awake Still I couldn’t tell You came through the veil You came through the veil My name in your mouth Like a warning bell [Verse 2] Your shadow moved first Then your skin turned pale A silver thread of silence Trailing down the hall You said, “don’t be afraid” But your voice was far away Like a radio trapped Under ocean waves [Pre-Chorus] And the window blinked once In the midnight dark I saw your fingers Leave a spark [Chorus] You came through the veil You came through the veil I was wide awake Still I couldn’t tell You came through the veil You came through the veil My name in your mouth Like a warning bell [Bridge] If you were a dream Why did the glass frost? If you were a memory Why did I get lost? You touched my sleeve And the clocks all stopped Then you were there Then you were not [Chorus] You came through the veil You came through the veil I was wide awake Still I couldn’t tell You came through the veil You came through the veil My name in your mouth Like a warning bell [Outro] In the quiet after I still feel you near At the edge of the mirror Waiting in the tear
