a house on a hill

a house on a hill
i’ll climb until i’m tired,
 so tired--let me in. 

the moon on a lake
she whispers to me my mistakes, 
and i’m sorry, so sorry
let me in. 

oh i know that you loved me before; 
forgive me i was too scared
but not anymore
let me in, let me in. 

a bottle with a note 
will lead me to you i know
but how far, how far must i row? 
you wake from your sleep
vermillion upon your cheeks
your eyes full and deep of enormous things won’t you please let me in, let me in.
