Write your name in sand and snow
Watch it blow away
Write your name in blood and rain
And see it leave a stain upon my soul

We've got Father Time, we've got Mother Earth
Somehow love is all we crave
Painted you with the colors of the night
Then I watched you fade away

Love's locked inside of my heart
Love's locked inside
Safe and forever waiting
And there it shall remain

Thaw the ice in these brittle veins
And melt this arctic soul
I pray alone to a child like God
Let me see your face 'fore I'm old

My heart is hard and heavy
With the burden of un-given love
Think I loved you deeper that the ocean blue
When I saw the stars at night
I thanked them all for you

Love's locked inside of my heart
Love's locked inside
Safe and forever waiting
And there it shall remain

Write your name in sand and snow
Write your name in blood and rain
Thaw the ice in these brittle veins
Melt this arctic soul

Love's locked inside
Silent wish for what I thought will be divine
Safe and forever, safe and forever

So this is the fate that time has chosen to be mine
A hope that's not to be fulfilled
Silent wish for what I thought divine

I will keep it here for you deep down inside myself
I'd rather keep it here for the ages to behold
Than give it away to someone else

Love's locked inside of my heart
Love's locked inside
(Silent wish for what I thought will be divine)
Safe and forever waiting
And there it shall remain

Love's locked inside of my heart
Love's locked inside of my heart
Love's locked inside of my heart
(Safe and forever)
Love's locked inside
