Outside my door dark phantoms pretend they are alive
Haunted by rumors of lovers who never will arrive
Waiting in my room in a hotel no visitors come to
No locks on the doors to keep out the shadow of you
Now you've opened the final door overcoming your fear
Where I have wisdom to whisper into your hungry young ear
A world of mystery and adventure is outside waiting for you
There is so much to see through my window's clear view
The sun sets out there where the ocean creates the horizon
And rises each morning beyond the window your destiny lies in
Long shadows are cast when the sun hovers above the rim of the Earth
Dissipating in darkness at night and fading away under daylight's rebirth
There is so much more to explore beyond my door and empty hallway
To seek out your dreams before time becomes short and life slips away
But your search should always begin with a question unanswered within
Will you honor and love the person blooming beneath your flowering skin?
