Dark, small, so fragile   A treasure to your heart   Grace your fingers across the lacquer   Think of someone miles away   Piano sounds that bow in the distance   Bring me back to my room again   Ten thousand miles away   My memory is leaking   She lost a ruby thing   Trying to focus, times in the past   The music has stopped and can't carry on   All of a sudden I start to remember   Summer, Germany, then it's gone   Ten thousand miles away   The dancers are sleepy   The keys are put away   The jewel on my jacket talking, talking   Telling stories everyone's heard   My box of ghosts bids me goodnight   Clockwork spirits have the last word   Ten thousand miles away
