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

Snd 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 altarpiece I'm praying to

For the living and the dead



Twin valleys shine 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
