The lover in me
Has faded
The lover in me
Is nowhere to be found
She is bound
Behind sturdy walls
I’ve built so carefully
The lover in me awaits
Intervention of Fate
For the mythical Knight
Or the one honest man
To find the key
Turn the lock, open me
The love in me
Fades to jaded
Is banked down so far
Firefly in a jar
And I…
I retreat into the fortress
Of my heart’s echoing halls
Warming my numb, cold fingers
Over the ink of old love letters
Making boats of the pretty paper
Pirate words your heart to capture
And I… hold this breath… and step out barefoot
To set them into the ocean puddles
Just outside these castle walls

True love doesn’t happen to you,
it happens from you.
Tear down this wall…

AnElephantCant stop tilting at windmills
As he looks for the lover in he
But if you hang on
Before all hope is gone
He honestly promises to try to find a key
