i toss a penny down the well but i can't wait

and it's too dark to tell

if it ever hits the water



i see you running through the wheat

it looks like rain and you're too sweet

to play the tempting farmer's daughter



i'll take the heat

you turn your pale white back

i'll take the key

from under the welcome mat and we



open the first of many doors

i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor

we'll make a run for sanctuary



forget the trip you planned for may

it doesn't matter anyway

don't turn away from sanctuary



nero, he's my hero

cause he's all decked out in sheets

and leaves with berries

peggy lee don't do the same for me

i can't get too close to fuzzy sweaters



i'll take the heat

you turn your pale white back

i'll take the key

from under the welcome mat and we



open the first of many doors

i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor

we'll make a run for sanctuary



forget the trip you planned for may

it doesn't matter anyway

don't turn away from sanctuary



i hear you calling from the hall

but i can't make out words at all

something like "losing elegance"

i was heading down a path and i will turn but not too fast

you know i lose my balance



i'll take the heat

you turn your pale white back

i'll take the key

from under the welcome mat and we



open the first of many doors

i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor

we'll make a run for sanctuary



forget the trip you planned for may

it doesn't matter anyway

don't turn away from sanctuary
