locked out

i've been locked out

i've been locked in

but i always seem to come back again

when you're in that room

oh what do you do?

i know that i will have you in the end

and the clouds they are 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

the twin valleys 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

and 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

bees in the honey

every night

i circle like the moon

and it's an act of simple devotion

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

i've been locked out

and i've been locked out

and i've been locked out
