I'll Let You In - Jackie Greene

I operate a searchlight

From a tower through a window

Many hours I spend looking for you

Ever since you’ve been gone

So I’ve been looking for you baby

Every morning and every evening

You never said the reasons

But you said we’d meet again

And when the storms that you once threw

Get thrown back at you

And you just can’t stand to stand in your own skin

I’ll let you in

I’m nailed to the tail of a whale

At the bottom of an ocean

Any day here I’ll have to

Come back up for air

I’ll be waiting for you baby

In the city in the jungle

Sitting pretty waiting for you

Knock on my door

So when the friends that you once knew

Don’t remember you

And they tell you that you can’t be born again

I’ll let you in

I control the weather

From a dial in the kitchen

Lighting fires from the burner

It’s absurd but it works just fine

I’ve been thinking about places

I’ve been to and have loved me

And I’ve had to been sad to

Had to leave cuz things got lost

(And when the friends that you once knew

Don’t remember you)

And you just don’t think you’ll ever learn again

I’ll let you in
