[Orchestral Prelude] [Romantic, mysterious, soft piano and strings] [Verse 1] There's a lantern by the water I've been leaving there each night Just in case you cross the shadows Just in case you see the light I've been listening through the willow For a footstep in the dark Funny how a little trouble Leaves a very lasting mark You keep calling from a distance Just enough to pull me near And I'm done pretending, Doctor You're not why I'm waiting here [Pre-Chorus] I could take another step I could wade into the blue But I've come this far already Now I need a sign from you [Chorus] Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp There's a place for me and you Where we stop this little dance And finally follow through Where I don't have to keep guessing What you're trying not to say Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp Doctor, meet me halfway [Orchestral Interlude] [Verse 2] Maybe you have seen my lantern Maybe you have watched it glow Maybe every little challenge Told you more than you should know Maybe when I dared you closer I was hoping you might try Maybe all this smoke and thunder Was a way to hide the why Every time you answer back You pull me further from the shore And every time I think I'm finished I just want you a little more [Pre-Chorus] I could cross into your darkness I could come and find you too But I won't cross every mile Just to prove I wanted you [Chorus] Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp There's a place for me and you Where the games become confessions And we find out if they're true Where I don't have to keep wondering What you're trying not to say Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp Doctor, meet me halfway [Bridge - Intimate] What if all this smoke and thunder All the trouble that we make Is just easier than admitting There's a little more at stake? What if underneath the teasing Under every little fight There's a reason I keep listening For your footsteps every night? I don't need a grand confession I don't need forever planned I just want to know you're willing To reach out and take my hand I don't need to know the ending I don't need to name this yet I just know there's something here I'm not ready to forget [Orchestra Building] If you want me, come and find me I've been waiting by the shore Take one step into the water And I'll take one more I've already left the lantern I've already cleared the way If you're somewhere in that darkness Doctor, meet me halfway [Massive Orchestral Rise] [Final Chorus] Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp There's a place for me and you Where the distance falls behind us And there's nothing left to prove Let them whisper Let them wonder Let the whole damn jungle stare If you're brave enough to want me I'll be brave enough to meet you there [Key Change] Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp I can almost see you now I've come halfway through the darkness Doctor, don't you turn around Somewhere over the Goblin Swamp Underneath that silver moon Maybe all this time I've waited I've been waiting there for you I've come far enough to show you I won't run from what could be So if somewhere in that darkness You've been looking back at me [Soaring Final Belt] Come find me Over the Goblin Swamp! [Grand Orchestral Finish] [Soft Outro] [Piano and strings] Doctor I'll leave the light on [Final soft chord]
