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
