Do you know what I wonder?
It's an old story and a well-known one, but aren't they all ever the same?
You've come to me again, and again I touch your heart
I know your name
You can hide, but you can't run
My eyes catch you before you even start to fall
Away
Say…
Do you know,
Do you know,
Do you know what I am?
The old storybook says there has to be one, and I must comply
Fluttering around the torn brown pages
Bitten apples and broken swords in my heart
All around me the storm still rages
I wonder, I wonder,
My candy is bitter and my torture is sweet
Taste my sticks of peppermint, and enter my gingerbread castle
The entrance fee was waived, just for you
I'll be waiting in the oven, there's enough room for two
You pour the tea
My fingers are tired from spinning this wheel
Say…
Do you wonder,
Do you wonder,
Do you wonder as well?
It's a secret, centuries spent in the making
You're five hundred decades too young to know
And I prefer my wines
Matured
Can you guess? I'm making a trail, a trail of petals
Just for you
It's not my fault if you can't see in the dark, love
Do you know,
Do you know,
Do you know what I know?
Taste my sticks of peppermint, and enter my gingerbread castle
The entrance fee was waived, just for you
I'll be waiting in the oven, there's enough room for two
I'll be reading a book by the light of my pyre
There's enough room for two
