There’s something quite peculiar and right
As a fairy beats her fists against a wall
For it did not let shine through the light
It just stood there throwing out darkness
And it was smooth and hard
And repelled all her strokes
It wouldn’t take her shimmer or her glow
And nothing could talk her out of it
She was bent on breaking through
Let her go

CHORUS : Once was counterpart now lost to night
Holding on with memories
Till you come back to me
Some kind of nature took its course
I’ve got a thread I’m hanging from
I won’t let you cut me free

There’s a strange kind of beauty
In knocking on a door
When its thick cold iron and brass
With a small flesh fist
You know he wants to come out
But he’s lost his own keys in the dark
And he’s probably half blind
But he’s heard your call
And there’s that knocking sound again
Oh he can’t let you in
Even if he opens a tiny crack
He’d lose everything

REPEAT CHORUS

Well she had to turn away
And with her head hung low
She resolved to return with a note
It could fit under the door
And she’d write the letters large
Slip it underneath unfolded
I never wanted to give you
Your worst dread
The fear that played on silent in the back of your head
I never wanted to be on the other side of this
I never wanted to be
It was not our plan
I never wanted to be anything but there with you
But here I am
Here I am
It was just a simple note that she wrote.
