Nightwish - Heart lying still lyrics

The nightingale is still locked in the cage
The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
An old oak sheltering me from the blue
Sun bathing on it's dead frozen leaves

A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
She dreams of story time and the river ghosts
Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride
Raving harlequins, gigantic toys

A song of me a song in need
Of a courageous symphony
A verse of me a verse in need
Of a pure heart singing me to peace
All that great heart lying
Still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still
On an angel wing

All that great heart lying still
In silent suffering
Smiling like a clown until the show
Has come to an end what is left for encore
Is the same old Dead Boy's song
Song in silence

All that great heart lying
Still and slowly dying
All that great heart lying still
On an angel wing

A midnight flight into Covington Woods
A princess and a panther by my side
These are Territories I live for
I'd still give my everything to love you more
