Lock and Key Songtext
von Sara Watkins

In the long light of early July
In the summer heat, he asked me to be his wife
He said, "Take my hand, and for the rest of my life
I′ll be at your side
It's you and me in the by and by"
He said, "Long have you been a budding bloom
With sun-kissed blush and ivory crunes
So let the wind whip the green grass in the dunes
My love for you runs through and through
Forever cannot come too soon"


The summer left and came November clouds
And with it all had fallen to the ground
Waiting for the sun to come back around
I meant to lift him up, not tie him down
I′m lost, but once was found

Good times, they came and went away
By and by, we began to fray
And it was clear to see that he had swayed
That first summer seems so far away
But I'm still here and not afraid

So wind, whip the green grass and dunes
Forever's faded out of view
And my ivory skin still crunes
My love for him goes through and through


He′s had my hand and then he set it free
Still got my heart hidden away from me
And I can′t walk away, I won't let it be
My love is under lock and key
My love is under lock and key
My love is under lock and key
