Lyrics: Dessa Wander
Music: Dessa Wander/Aaron Mader
Ihaven't met a locked door yet
that Icouldn't beat
on a chain around my neck
I keep my skeleton key
Chorus:
don't waste your worry on me
I always find what I need
come and go as I please
I've got my skeleton key
don't waste your worry on me
I always find what I need
come and go as I please
I've got my skeleton key
by nowit's just a simple trick
not much to see
you hear the tumblers catch and click
then turn the key
butI've found work and welcome everywhereI've been
causeeveryone's got someplace they wanna be let in
Chorus
Along the way
the old men call me by mymother's name
she looked the same they say
the children wave
or hide behind theirmothers' skirts, afraid
strangers here still seem strange
they hear the accent
knowI'm from nowhere near
but I speak the language
and I know the customs here
I come from over the horizon
pass through every dozen years
go home, tell of my arrival
the skeletonkey's here
Chorus
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
Yeah
Chorus
don't you go waste all your worry on me
causeI'll make my way with my skeleton key
