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 |
