lyrics

Were so high only robins could fly them
And the doors were closed to
The path from which the walkers crossed
Holding their umbrellas to the rain

There was no roof to weather
So a family of trees grew together
And small lonely girls can
See the leaves unfurling
On the branches reaching to the sky

Calling from the gloomy place
Echoes of an answer are left on her face
Only when she’s on her knees
Do her muddy fingers uncover the keys

Her first attempts were wary
When she pulled back the curtain of ivy
Only the hair around her shoulders
To hold her
Trembling from the wilderness inside

And someone said, ‘Ooh
Where have you been all this time?’

And she said, ‘Ooh
I finally found it again.’
