In Summer when the storm begins
I'm on the outside looking in
By the warm glow of the lamp
She is shadow and the window is thin
Found our room made of stone
Just one of many in a row
Have I said that I would leave
For I'm nothing if I'm something you own
At her place by the Thames
Watched the sailed ships come in
Laid her clothes on the bed
Saw the sky opening
Wide open, inside
I don't let you hide
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
I thought I never would belong
So I looked back where I was born
Where the paint is always peeling
And the fires left sweeping up alone
I had traced back again
With a chain on a limb
I am there when it's dark
I'm outside looking in
Wide open, inside
I don't let you hide
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
Before a time there was no change
And the colours stayed the same
I live there down below
But it's not quite a home
Wide open, inside
I don't let you hide
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
But you don't, don't wanna recognise
