lyrics

The Door

This is the door
That is the window
This is the floor
That’s where the shoes go
We put my things
We put her things
Into a drawer

Here is the door
Right where she entered
She was the sun
She was the center
She was a light
I hadn’t seen
Ever before

How many times you had your heart broken
Frozen in a wind so cold
And yet you still leave it open
Like an open door

This was a home
Can’t you remember
This was a love
This was a temple
You lost your faith
You couldn’t pray
Anymore

I sang my song
You were so quiet
I was alone
In all your silence
You turn to run
Just like before
Straight for the door
Straight for the door

How many times you had your heart broken
Frozen in a wind so cold
And yet you still leave it open
Like an open door

Here is the door
She wouldn’t open
She keeps it closed
Things could be stolen
She was a dark
I hadn’t seen
Ever before

This is the door
This is the window
That is the floor
That’s where the shoes go
I took your things
Out of the drawer
Here is the door
Here is the door
