Unlock The Door

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 through the midnight of my mind
But before my fingers reach to touch you, leave me far behind
Oh, 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
