Lyrics

Green ivy creeps up the wall to the window on the second floor
the parishioner sleeps in a bare-walled room behind a bolted door
and you can hear a pin drop
you can hear the tall tower clock
in the darkest night
in the sweet, saintly light of the empty cathedral
old oak doors grow from cobblestone floors
to keep the winter out
winding stairs lead to choir loft chairs
where the view is something to sing about
and you can hear your name called
hear it echo off four granite walls
in the presence of my memory's love
for empty cathedrals
for empty cathedrals
the damp night air hazes the glare of moonlight through stained glass
silence roars as the midnight rain pours
and the fortress takes a bath
and I can hear the spirits
hallelujah I know I can hear it
it's the oldest faith that mazes it's face
in empty cathedrals
in empty cathedrals
in empty cathedrals
