Frost upon the window Your coat behind the door I count the little footsteps Across the kitchen floor Rosemary and ribbons Hanging on the line Everything belongs here Except this heart of mine Ooh-ooh Mmm-mmm On the outside Looking in Waiting for the light To let me in On the outside In the blue I can see the fire I can almost see you Ahh-ahh Ooh-ooh-ooh Blackbird in the garden Pearls of morning rain I write your name in circles On the windowpane Someone draws the curtains Someone lights the hall I stand beneath the apple tree And listen to it all On the outside Looking in Winter on my shoulders Cold against my skin On the outside Soft and slow Tell me if there’s somewhere I’m supposed to go Mmm-mmm-mmm Ahh-ahh Leave the porch light burning Leave the garden gate Open just a little In case I’m running late Ooh-ooh On the outside On the outside Maybe that’s where I belong Mmm-mmm Still I hear you Singing Somewhere Inside.
