I been locked out
i 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 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 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 valley shines in the morning sun
i send a message out to my only one
i 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 i work with the bees and 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
i been locked out
