Standing in the Doorway |
| I’m a-walkin' through the summer nights |
| The jukebox playing low |
| Yesterday everything was goin' too fast |
| Today it’s moving too slow. |
| I got no place left to turn |
| I got nothing left to burn |
| Don’t know if I saw you |
| If I would kiss you or kill you |
| It probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow |
| You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' |
| I got nothing to go back to now. |
| The light in this place is so bad |
| Makin' me sick in the head |
| All the laughter is just makin' me sad |
| The stars have turned cherry red. |
| I’m strummin' on my gay guitar |
| Smokin' a cheap cigar |
| The ghost of our old love has not gone away |
| Don’t look it like it will any time soon |
| You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' |
| Under the midnight moon. |
| Maybe they’ll get me, and maybe they won’t |
| But not tonight and it won’t be here |
| There are things I could say but I don’t |
| I know the mercy of God must be near. |
| I’ve been ridin' the midnight train |
| Got ice water in my vein. |
| I would be crazy if I took you back |
| It would go up against every rule |
| You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' |
| Sufferin' like a fool. |
| When the last rays of daylight go down |
| Buddy you’re older or more |
| I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard |
| I wonder who they’re ringin' for? |
| I know I can’t win |
| But my heart just won’t give in. |
| Last night I danced with a stranger |
| But she just reminded me you were the one. |
| You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' |
| In the dark land of the sun. |
| I’ll eat when I’m hungry |
| Drink when I’m dry |
| And live my life on the square |
| And even if the flesh falls off of my face |
| I know someone will be there to care. |
| It always meaned so much, even the softest touch. |
| I see nothin' to be gained by any explanation |
| There’s no words that need to be said |
| You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' |
| Blues wrapped around my head. |
