Vanessa Carlton Lyrics for Song: Half a Week Before the Winter
 Lyrics for Album: Harmonium
 
 
 
 2563>Half a week before the winter
 The chill bites before it comes
 And I'm a child of the pleasure
 Daddy brings before he runs
 
 He sits behind a desk of mahogany
 He whispers dreams into my ear
 And though I've givin him his empire
 He delivers me my fear
 
 The unicorns are riding high
 Powerful in coats of white
 I turn to look and 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
 
 2563>
