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 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
  
   I've been locked out
   And I know we're through
   But I can't begin to face up to the truth
   I waited 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
  
   And I've been locked out and I know we're through
   But I can't begin to face up to the truth
   I waited 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
   And every night I circle like the moon
   And it's a act of simple devotion
   But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
  
   I've been locked out
