Change the locks on the door Put out the light in the hall I do not live anymore Put the world in a box Turn the sign to the street Aim for where the horizon And blue skies meet But all I know is I'm not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet I've been a gifted thief Stole everything for the cause But I never had fingers As light as yours So wake up pretty girl See the hope in small things Disappointment can wear you thin But all I know is I'm not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet So I'll raise this glass of wine And I'll say your name So let's be killers, babe Make the great escape From all the bitter words From every crowded street And empty bar It's Christmas DayBrooklyn in the rain But I am safe inside An a better world Of hope and memory Drunk on velvet wine Deal your cards and hope That I can play A better hand this time
