let you in

Singer: judy collins

i've stayed at the frame that borders your mind

thought there was something behind

all disappeared

colors and lines

i was surprised to find

but in truth what you reveal

is every layer appear

safe to the touch opened the hill

finally someone real

gone are the shadows that trailed me around

gone are the sandpaper voices that wore me thin

i wanna let you in

there is a room weathered and cold

that i long to show you

where others have come filling the holes

living their lives they told

no matter how many dreams they stole

they couldn't take my soul

gone are the shadows that trailed me around

gone are the sandpaper voices that wore me thin

i wanna let you in

gone are illusions by which i've been bound

you are the rush of belief underneath my skin

i wanna let you in

now for the very first time

i can see myself in your eyes

watch the pain of the past

drift away for good at last

gone are the shadows that trailed me around

gone are the sandpaper voices that wore me thin

i wanna let you in

gone are illusions by which i've been bound

you are the rush of belief underneath my skin

i wanna let you in
