lyrics

Chamber door, please hear me
You’re the only one who will
Tell my love I saw him weep
Upon his window sill
Chamber door, he sleeps now
He can’t hear my song, I know
But I have ridden winds to reach him
I beg you, tell him so

And I am here to take him home
I’ve crossed miles o’er the water
So he’d be my own
And I have tread the world on weary feet, alone
So let me take
Take him home

Chamber door I’m sorry
I know I betrayed his heart
Pulled his skin and burned him raw
And forced him to depart

Chamber door he needs me
Though his love I could not hold
But calloused hands have made me wise
And love has made me bold

And I am here to take him home
I’ve crossed miles o’er the water
So he’d be my own
And I have tread the world on weary feet, alone
So let me take
Take him home

Wake up, wake up, she’s here to take you home...
Wake up, wake up, she’s here to take you home…

What’s that sound I know that voice
I think I think that I have been lost
What’s that sound I know that voice
I think I think that I have been lost
