Boiling the kettle sitting on the stove
All your eyes ever do is rove
Over the arches and around the bends
I close my heart and the message hits send
And it never gets past her gate
Because her love is born of hate
Or at least of fear
The arrow quivers when it gets near
To the point where it hits home
The target and I are all alone 
In the mists of what you can’t control
I didn’t ask for you heart, I didn’t ask for a soul
I just asked if it was okay to give you mine
And say that it’s you and I for all of a time
Is that a paradox
You’re the one who undid the locks 
Around the chains of me 
And the rains of sea 
Come to drown the land 
I know you think you understand 
But you’ve missed the crucial point
And that’s why your nose is out of joint 
In the articulate
Did you hear the click of the gate
When I walked out the door
Left the garden and what’s more
I condemned it to darkness again 
Until I can find the light in men
