| Your living city seems to breathe beneath my restless feet | |
| And unfamiliar laughter floats across the crowded street | |
| For me the street signs all point down my hopes are all with you | |
| Foreign princess, it's your castle won't you lead me through | |
| I'm a stranger with no one to give direction to my sighs | |
| Allow me please to nestle in the summer of your eyes | |
| Cause there's nothing I fear more than being lonely | |
| Please understand me | |
| Unlock the door | |
| Though singing sounds of tenderness surround you when you speak | |
| Your city lights are blinding, my defenses have grown weak | |
| And all your whirling warmth has danced away from me too soon | |
| The melodies of evening have been silenced by the moon | |
| Come and stand inside the shadows call me to your arms | |
| And you and I will hear the songs of morning being born | |
| It's a cold and ugly city when you're lonely | |
| Please don't ignore me | |
| Unlock the door | |
| Although the crimson curtains of the sunset have been drawn | |
| And everything's uncertain on the doorsteps of the dawn | |
| The way your fingers touched me as I lit your cigarette | |
| Is not the kind of feeling I find easy to forget | |
| But now you've faded back into the crossword puzzle night | |
| And left no hint of how you feel to shield me from the light | |
| I can't sleep I'm too afraid of dreaming lonely | |
| Please don't desert me | |
| Unlock the door | |
| I'm a refugee from stagnancy and no one knows my name | |
| Without the means to make you see I've got no time for games | |
| Your silken hair weaves patterns throught the midnight of my mind | |
| But before my fingers reach to touch you leave me far behind | |
| Aw, lower down compassion ropes and lift me off the ground | |
| And lead me through the funnel of the secrets of your town | |
| In the ocean of your arms I won't be lonely | |
| Don't disregard me | |
| Unlock the door |
