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
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
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
