I shut the door, the lock is tight
The house creaks back into the night
The ceiling fan begins its round
And all the quiet starts to sound
The latch gives way, the gate swings wide
The river climbs from deep inside
My hands are steady, my sight is clear
The storm I've held is finally here
The room is bare
The air is light
I don't need more, I drop my care
It's only me tonight
The room is bare
The air is light
The whole world can be unfair
But this is my one right
The latch gives way, the gate swings wide
The river climbs from deep inside
My hands are steady, my sight is clear
The storm I've held is finally here
The room is bare
The air is light
I don't need more, I drop my care
It's only me tonight
The room is bare
The air is light
The whole world can be unfair
But this is my one right
