From "An Eloquence of Time and Space".

lyrics

2.4 The Girl in the Fireplace

I was just a girl
before a real mademoiselle
circumventing the heating system
with fairies for chimney sweeps
who rolled away into the future
on clockwork hands

now I am a Pompadour and Circumstance
still wound around fate

Annette weight on your heart
of the warmth I waited for
around an empty hearth
you should have
inspected again
