NOTE: This song was written for the competition at Nur Ein, where artists compete with each other each week using the song title the site gives out. The title for the week I entered was "Let Me in", so that is how the song got its name. The song also had to have "Unconventional Percussion", like not using drums, tambourines, cymbals, triangles, cowbell, etc.
Let Me In
=============
There once was a flower
that would not grow
and there once was a stream
with only a trickling flow
Through the mountains of life
I made my way the all alone
searching for answers
among the paths and stones
Then over the horizon
a smile shone like a flame
the sweet whisper of love
began calling my name
And so began the journey
the spark of romance
I became a player
in this mating dance
Chorus
=======================
Feel the flesh and bone
underneath the skin
open your wounded heart
and let me in
======================
Lost in a maze
hard to tell what is real
guided only by hope
and the excitement I feel
But day after day
all I find are walls
is there a ghost in your castle
who still wanders the halls?
The mistakes of your past
both your captive and captor
turn the pages of time
and start a new chapter
So flood my emotions
Open the gates of your heart
give me a piece of yourself
and make this relationship start
Chorus
===========================
Feel the flesh and bone
underneath the skin
open your wounded heart
and let me in
===========================
