Lyrics
The Lock
Leaves are falling through your heart into this garden
I feel the shadows in your mind
The winter light falls pale upon your naked shoulder
Hands across your chest, frozen in time
The colors are all faded in this garden
Emptiness spreads liker mist around the trees
Your eyes are silent, my heart is broken
Hands only touching branches with out leaves
Chorus
Did you know the lock upon the garden gate is open
And the fields beckon for your feet
Did you know the lock, the lock was always broken
There are no promises to keep
For this Love,
(For) this Love
I've been waiting in this room without mirrors
Waiting for your fears, your appetites and time
You came and took some crumbs fallen from the table
You left the feast of love behind
Chorus
Bridge
I've put away the blankets, I've put away the song
And wrapped myself in the silver of the moon
The morning's coming, I've got to leave now
Before this house becomes a tomb
Leaves are falling through your heart into this garden
I feel the shadows in your mind
Your eyes are silent, my heart is broken
We left the feast of love behind
Chorus
No promises to keep
No promises to keep
For this Love
