The bell boy brings you coffee   There are letters from every shore   There are flowers of the season   Heels are capsized by the door      You're well protected   Cold as you must be to survive   But I know somewhere behind your barricade   There's a love that can be made      And in my blood   Your ghost is crying living tears   And I can't switch them off   Or turn them down or out      You are a night flower   You bloom as I fade   And you drag me in deeper   Behind your barricade      With the love that can be made   Behind your barricade   Yes, and how long can I stay?      And this addition of yourself   You don't believe in anymore   We'll face the chat show at 8:30   And we'll freeze in the applause      Who am I to argue?   Here everybody must get paid   May you bloom forever   Behind your barricade      Looking for a love that can be made   Behind your barricade   Yes, and how long can I stay   Behind your barricade?   Where true arrows seldom stray
