Lyrics
See the door, maybe the left, behind it lies a lion and death See the door perhaps the right, behind it lies my lover and the night It seems I have a choice to make and I don’t know which door to take But something keeps on telling me to find the key to the door unseen in between See the key dangling from the jail keeps belt See it glitter in the torch light, hear it rustle against his kilt Aye it tis a brave one who shall wrench that key From its holder free, aye it tis a brave one he See the key hidden deeply beneath the quilts See yon door to which it fits, what mysteries lie within Strange are the sounds you’ve heard through her mighty strength Strange the light that has strayed through the key holes depths My adventure is calling, my excitement is building, my adventure is waiting for me. Feel the key within your grasp as you flee toward freedom at last You fling yourself along the path Towards love and light and melodies bright with everlastingness As you run from the castle wall behind you falls a mighty gate As you flee across the glen, you’re pursued by the royal horsemen As you drop to the ground a last, breathing harder than your beating heart Your only friend, now fierce, appears and vanquishes them And your only friend, with tears, kneels and lifts you up And your only friend, with love, takes you home to the land hard won Bright day in the morning, bright day in the sun, Bright day in the morning, home I’ve come
