Beginning
from the darkness
you grope towards the light
you grope towards the light
Where
another half-formed question
is refracted by the night
is refracted by the night
But
the answer is uncertain
and the meaning is obscure
and the meaning is obscure
And
the world only opens through the inner door
So
you start the endless journey that is never of the feet
To
form the perfect circle that can never be complete
And
you stumble through the desert for forty years and more
But
the world only opens through the inner door
Now
your arms are clasped about her as you take her to your room
And
you lock your limbs together like the darkness and the moon
Ah
to heal yourself in love of all the scars you won in war
But
the world only opens through the inner door
Through
shadows and shelters and journeys of the mind
To
that perfect thoughtless silence that you thought you'd never find
Then
somewhere you learned the secret and you pierced it to the core
And
the world slowly opened through the inner door
Now
the moon is slowly sinking and the day has come again
And
the morning light is springing from the darkness like a flame
Soon
the chrysalis will open and your heart will find its cure
And
the world will surely open through the inner door
But
the sea goes on for ever and the tide turns at the shore
And
the world only opens through the inner door
