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
