Cassette Faultline 25 (Years From Now)

[Verse] You kept a tiny brass key Beneath the saucer by the bed Said it fit the little doorway That appears inside your head At noon the hallway folded At dusk the wallpaper swam You laughed and asked me softly Which version of us I am [Pre-Chorus] If the hands forget their circles If the dates come loose and fall Will you know me by the way I Never answer when you call [Chorus] Turn the little key, turn Let the paper kingdom open Let the old hours lose their names Let the bright new doorway burn If I meet you years from now Will you know me then? [Verse] There was sugar on the windowsill A blue cup cracked in two You drew a map across the table With a road that led to you A train went by beneath the floorboards Full of people dressed as rain Each one carried one small answer Each one brought it back again [Pre-Chorus] If the hands forget their circles If the dates come loose and fall Will you know me by the way I Never answer when you call [Chorus] Turn the little key, turn Let the paper kingdom open Let the old hours lose their names Let the bright new doorway burn If I meet you years from now Will you know me then? [Bridge] You said, “Don’t choose the ending Just because it knows your face.” Then the room began to tilt And the ceiling changed its place I held your sleeve; you held the teacup We watched the minute split in two One half ran into the garden One half stayed there holding you [Chorus] Turn the little key, turn Let the paper kingdom open Let the old hours lose their names Let the bright new doorway burn If I meet you years from now Will you know me then? [Outro] The saucer, the key The cup with its blue seam A door in the wall And you asking me Which one was the dream
