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
