Locked Out - Lyrics - A House
A House was an Irish band from the 1980s to the 1990s, recognized for the clever, "often bitter or irony laden lyrics of Dave Couse ... bolstered by the seemingly effortless musicality".

I been locked out
I been locked in
But I always seem to come back again
When you're in that room
What do you do
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds they are crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack that's as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
And I been locked out
And I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
And I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I'll one day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view when I look through my window
Is an alterpiece I'm praying to for the
Living and the dead
Twin valleys shine in the morning sun
I sent the message out to my only one I been locked out and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I'll one day have you back
And I work with the bees and the honey
And every night I circle like a moon
And it's an act of simple devotion
But it can take forever
When you've got something to prove
I been locked out
