[Verse 1]
You appeared upon the white shore
On a dark and moonless eve
I led you through the stone gate
Torches spitting in the breeze
All around our palace glistened
Splashed with waves up from the sea
But you shone bright as a thousand suns
In your gown of ivory
One thing, I asked of you my love
As I combed your white-gold hair
Only stay your hand from the red door
The red door beneath the stairs
[Chorus]
The red door under the stairs
The red door ‘neath the stairs
Stay your hand from that old, black lock
There’s nothing to see in there
[Verse 2]
Why do you stand so many hours
Staring out across the sea?
Why do you slip out past the black drapes
When I pretend that I’m asleep?
You appeared upon the white shore
On a dark and moonless eve
I led you through the stone gate
Torches spitting in the breeze
All around our palace glistened
Splashed with waves up from the sea
But you shone bright as a thousand suns
In your gown of ivory
One thing, I asked of you my love
As I combed your white-gold hair
Only stay your hand from the red door
The red door beneath the stairs
[Chorus]
The red door under the stairs
The red door ‘neath the stairs
Stay your hand from that old, black lock
There’s nothing to see in there
[Verse 2]
Why do you stand so many hours
Staring out across the sea?
Why do you slip out past the black drapes
When I pretend that I’m asleep?
