Lyrics
Bare feet landing soft on wet grass,
Bare feet gently touching damp grass,
Whiff of Winter, Autumn’s last dance,
A faint scent of the passing Autumn merging into Winter,
The secret words written on your back,
A reference to intimate or private words inscribed metaphorically on someone's back,
Greenhouse glass, nettle stings, tea shop,
Imagery of a greenhouse, stinging nettles, and a tea shop,
A rope on a tree, deathlike heat
A visual of a rope on a tree and intense, suffocating heat,
Finding your face in a crowd
Finding a familiar face in a crowd,
I close my eyes
Closing one's eyes,
And suddenly it takes me places, a treasury
Suddenly experiencing a transformative journey, akin to discovering a treasury,
At the door to a heartache
Standing at the threshold of heartache,
I turn the key and arrive
Unlocking emotions and arriving at a specific emotional place,
At a merry-go-round
Encountering a merry-go-round,
Crackles and heartbeats, green gates,
Crackling sounds, heartbeats, and the presence of green gates,
Wet castle walls, stiff nightmare feet,
Describing wet castle walls and feeling paralyzed in a haunting dream,
The scent of fresh baked buns at the door, one more,
Aromatic scent of freshly baked buns by a door,
Raindrops pounding the bedroom roof,
Raindrops creating a rhythmic sound on the bedroom roof,
New sheets, first wave of Christmas mood,
Association with new sheets and the initial feelings of Christmas,
A walk in easy silence
Quietly walking together with unspoken words,
I hear a tune
Hearing a melody,
And suddenly it takes me places, a gallery
Suddenly transported to an artistic place, resembling a gallery,
At the door to a heartache
Confronting heartache again,
I turn the key and arrive
Unlocking emotions once more and reaching a specific emotional state,
At a merry-go-round
Encountering a merry-go-round anew,
All the hurt, every kindness, shame
Recollection of both painful and kind experiences, alongside shame,
Every thrill of youth down memory lane
Reliving the highs and lows of youth along the memory lane,
A point of interest on the map of me
A point of significance within one's own experiences,
All the hurt, every kindness, shame
Recollection of both painful and kind experiences, alongside shame (repeated line),
Every thrill of youth down memory lane
Reliving the highs and lows of youth along the memory lane (repeated line),
A point of interest on the map of you
A significant point within the experiences of another person,
And suddenly they take us places, to treasuries
Suddenly being taken together to treasures or valuable experiences,
At the door to a heartache
Confronting shared heartache,
We turn the key and arrive
Unlocking shared emotions and arriving at a mutual emotional state,
At a merry-go-round
Encountering the merry-go-round together,
And suddenly it takes us places, to galleries
Suddenly being taken together to artistic or meaningful experiences,
At the door to a heartache
Confronting shared heartache again,
We turn the key and arrive
Unlocking shared emotions once more and arriving at a mutual emotional state,
At a merry-go-round
Encountering the merry-go-round jointly.
