I walk alone, the night wears a shadow
Painted in silver, painted in gold
The moment ends in silence, then the moment grows old
And when she smiles, a thousand dreams surround her
Dress them in secrets no one can hold
The fire dies in the distance, as the embers grow cold
Sing for me now
All the world is a stage
Smile, take a bow
From your gilded cage
Behind the glass, she's safe where no one can reach her
Roses with thorns just make her bleed
A fragile porcelain angel breaks so easily
Sing for me now
All the world is a stage
Smile, take a bow
From your gilded cage
The restless heart cries when no one is listening
She's waiting for someone, waiting for you
To want, love and need her, to help her make it through
As the moment grows old in her gilded cage
