I've been locked out

I've been locked in

But I always seem to come back again

When you're in that room

What do you do?

I know that I will have you in the end



And the clouds

They're crying on you

And the birds are offering up their tunes

In a shack as remote as a mansion

You escape into a place where nothing moves



And I've been locked out

And I know we're through

But I can't begin to face up to the truth

I wait so long

For the walls to crack

But I know that I will one day have you back



And the hills

Are as soft as a pillow

And they cast a shadow on my bed

And the view

When I look through my window

Is an altar place I'm praying to for the living and the dead



My hidden valley shines in the morning sun

I send a message out to my only one



Yet I've been locked out

And I know we're through

But I can't begin to face up to the truth

I wait so long

For the walls to crack

But I know that I will one day have you back

(Yes, I will)



And I work

Like bees in the honey

Every night I circle like the moon

It's an act

Of simple devotion

But it can take forever when you've got something to prove



I've been locked out

I've been locked out

I've been locked out
