Vanessa Carlton Lyrics for Song: Half a Week Before Winter
 Lyrics for Album: Harmonium [2004]
 
 
 
 32559>Half a week before the winter
 
 The chill bites before it comes
 
 And I'm a child of the pleasure
 
 That he brings before he runs
 
 
 
 He sits behind a desk of mahogany
 
 He whispers dreams into my ear
 
 Though I've given him his empire
 
 He delivers me my fear
 
 
 
 The unicorns are riding high
 
 Powerful in coats of white
 
 I turn to look, but burn my eyes
 
 I carry on, I carry
 
 
 
 All the weight of empty promise
 
 As I stand, swallowed by the light
 
 Flickering above the highway
 
 I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight
 
 
 
 The vampires are growing tired
 
 The coats of white all turn to red
 
 My heart burns with desire
 
 I carry on, I carry on
 
 
 
 The unicorns are riding high
 
 Powerful in coats of white
 
 We turn to look and burn our eyes
 
 I carry on, I carry
 
 
 
 The vampires are growing tired
 
 The coats of white all turn to red
 
 My heart burns with desire
 
 I carry on, I carry on
 
 I carry on, I carry on
 
 We carry on
