Midnight Masquerade

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The candles lean toward the doorway

Someone is waltzing alone

Your gloves are still folded on the chair

Where the dust has grown

I count every step on the staircase

Twelve down and none of them yours

Pre-Chorus

And the mirror keeps your shape

And the clock forgets the hour

And I wait

Chorus

Come back to the ballroom

Come back to me

Every door is open

Every light is low

Come back to the ballroom

Where the music never slows

(Come back, come back)

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Verse 2

I wore the dress that you favored

The one with the black satin hem

The chandelier sways like a slow ship

Sinking over them

And the violins keep playing

For a guest who never came

Pre-Chorus

So I dance with your shadow

And I hum your half of the tune

Too soon

Chorus

Come back to the ballroom

Come back to me

Every door is open

Every light is low

Come back to the ballroom

Where the music never slows

(Come back, come back)

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Bridge

I will keep the waltz alive

I will keep your chair pulled out

If you are a rumor in the walls

Then let me be a rumor too

Breakdown

Mm mm

Mm-hmm

Mm mm

Chorus

Come back to the ballroom

Come back to me

Every door is open

Every light is low

Come back to the ballroom

Where the music never slows

(Come back, come back)

Outro

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Mm
