Grace kept rolling off 
 Like so much rain into a broken cup 
 It stayed a while but soon was on its way 
 Just like a prize fighter 
 Who can hear the count but can't get up 
 I'll sleep a while and fight another day 

 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 Closed to everyone 
 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 I was growing colder in the sun 

 Mirror, mirror, in the sky I look to you 
 But you can't hear me cry 
 Sometimes you seem so far away 
 Why give me this ocean 
 That nobody wants to get too near 
 And why, oh God can I not seize the day? 

 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 Closed to everyone 
 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 I was growing colder in the sun 

 Years kept blowing by 
 like so much rain into my heart 
 Dreaming of the day 
 When I might get that major part 
 And when things didn't go my way 
 I did what I did yesterday 
 There wasn't any way to change my heart 

 Like a lock to the door 
 Like a latch to the window 
 I was growing colder in the sun 

 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 (Just enduring my life in silence)
 Closed to everyone 
 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 (I kept living my life inside)
 I was growing colder in the sun 

 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 (Just enduring my life in silence) 
 Closed to everyone 
 Like a lock to the door, like a latch to the window 
 (I kept living my life inside)
 I was growing colder in the sun
