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.

Had the flu in the prison infirmary My last day I looked up and saw A man wheeled round the corner Down to skin and bones that's all I asked the nurse where he was goin' She said 'hospice down the hall He prob'ly won't be in there long Any day we'll get the call' I asked if they let family in She said 'not really at the end Truth is, a lot don't have someone No friends or next of kin' The thought of those guys goin' out alone It hit me somewhere deep I asked could I go sit with 'em For some comfort and relief? Next thing you know, I'm on the ward Doin' things you can't believe Like shavin' Julio's bony head Crackin' him up when I wash his feet I used to run when I saw Tyrone Knowin' your place's what it's all about Now he's here doubled up in pain Cancer eatin' him from the inside out I sit and wait outside his stall To help him when he's done Whatever shame we might have felt Well, all that's come undone I can't undo the wrong I did Give back the life I took But maybe when it comes my turn I'll get a second look I don't know 'bout religion I only know what I see And in the end when I hold their hand It's both of us set free
