The Key Lyrics

Out here there's a hole in the sky
door's opened to the other side
I saw a two headed dog fighting over a bone
black haired woman turned into crows

I gotta take a step back and think this through
I gotta know it's true

gotta know that I'm
living in a dream
is this what it seems?
gotta know anyone believes
how did I get lost?
what's the final cost?
could you please help me find the key?

out here under the willow tree
deep down is where you'll find the key
I've been here once before
maybe in a dream
thylacines play tambourines

I gotta take a step back and think this through
I gotta know it's true

gotta know that I'm
living in a dream
is this what it seems?
gotta know anyone believes
how did I get lost?
what's the final cost?
could you please help me find the key?

out here the saying goes off with the lights
and on with the show
once it's dark
the children play
they all join hands and dance around the grave

gotta know that I'm
living in a dream
is this what it seems?
gotta know anyone believes
how did i get lost?
what's the final cost?
could you please help me find the key?

Cover art for The Key lyrics by Black Stone Cherry

Very descriptive lyrics. The "key" would have to be the key to life. Looking at the lyrics "how did i get lost? what's the final cost? could you please help me find the key?" getting your life back on track. Middle section with Banjo reminds me of story time.
