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 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
