Let Me In

Barefoot and humble
Hard times, no trouble
A Grandfather clock in the middle of the day,
Can tick, tock your blues away.
A lacey Doiley beautifying the landscape of a forgotten table,
I see bigger in everything little.
Give me a stone,
and I'll build you a fortress.
Give me some depth,
something to sink my teeth in.
Slow and steady,
as an oil lamp burning.
Raging and ravenous,
this love that is churning.
Warning...this is your calm, before my storm.
Let fire and ice keep you warm.
Give me your heart, hold out your hand.
Take that first step,
and I'll teach you to dance.
But for the love of God...
Let me be more than your friend.
