The Mahogany Door

Verse 1

Silver rain

Dripping from the rusted gate

Heavy

Hungry

Cold

Your father watches the driveway

Waiting

Praying for me to leave

A hollow man in a hollow house

He counts the minutes

He counts my sins

Chorus

Walls built of stone

Keep us apart

Walls built of stone

Heavy on my heart

So wrong

So right

Through the dead of night

Post-Chorus

Ooh la la

La la la

Under the moon

Under the moon

Verse 2

Bare feet

Cold floor

Creak of the mahogany door

I am a shadow

I am a ghost

Sliding through the kitchen garden

Past the thorns

Past the roses

Past the guard

Your eyes are wide

Your hands are shaking

Fear and fever

Fire and frost

Chorus

Walls built of stone

Keep us apart

Walls built of stone

Heavy on my heart

So wrong

So right

Through the dead of night

Post-Chorus

Ooh la la

La la la

Under the moon

Under the moon

Bridge

They say no

The town says no

The sky says no

But your skin says stay

Your pulse says stay

Your soul says stay

Broken glass

On the back wall

Doesn't hurt as much as leaving

Chorus

Walls built of stone

Keep us apart

Walls built of stone

Heavy on my heart

So wrong

So right

Through the dead of night

Outro

Run away

Run away

Before the sun wakes up

Just us

Just now

Quietly now

Quietly now
