Skeleton Key - Dessa

I haven’t met a locked door yet that I couldn’t beat

On a chain around my neck I keep 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 now it’s just a simple trick

Not much to see, you hear the tumblers catch and click

Then turn the key

But I’ve found work and welcome everywhere I’ve been

Cause everyone’s got someplace they wanna be let in

Along the way

The old men call me by mother’s name

She looked just the same, they say

The children wave

Or hide behind their mother’s skirts afraid

Strangers here still seem strange

They hear the accent, know I’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 skeleton key’s here

I’ve got my

My skeleton, my skeleton key

I’ve got my, got my, got my

My skeleton, my skeleton key, yeah

Don’t you go waste all your worry on me

Cause I’ll make my way with my skeleton key
