The bell boy brings you coffee

There are letters from every shore

There are flowers of the season

Heels are capsized by the door



You're well protected

Cold as you must be to survive

But I know somewhere behind your barricade

There's a love that can be made



And in my blood

Your ghost is crying living tears

And I can't switch them off

Or turn them down or out



You are a night flower

You bloom as I fade

And you drag me in deeper

Behind your barricade



With the love that can be made

Behind your barricade

Yes, and how long can I stay?



And this addition of yourself

You don't believe in anymore

We'll face the chat show at 8:30

And we'll freeze in the applause



Who am I to argue?

Here everybody must get paid

May you bloom forever

Behind your barricade



Looking for a love that can be made

Behind your barricade

Yes, and how long can I stay

Behind your barricade?

Where true arrows seldom stray
