[Verse 1]
Let the moonlight pour into the room
Hushed voices carry 'cross the pond
I may hear the knock
On the door behind me, locked
Where inside I am a child, still hard at play
Be that as it may
[Verse 2]
Let the boat set sail across the page
Weather the storms, find a peaceful shore
I'll live with the taps
On the window at my back
The friends I've lost and words I didn't say
Be that as it may
[Bridge]
And through thick walls built out of mist
I see the girl I never kissed
Every open door I ever missed
And the many times I lost my way
Be that as it may
[Verse 3]
Let the ink flow like a river's course
Through the veil of death to a serene sea
Gentle as a prayer
Ferocious as a dare
To run the race on hobbled feet of clay
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
Be that as it may
