I'm walking through the summer nights The jukebox is playing low Yesterday, everything was going too fast Today, it's moving too slow Too many silver spoons Too much salt in my wounds I don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you Probably it wouldn't make no difference to you anyhow You left me standing in the doorway, crying Nothing to go back to now The light in this place is really bad Make me sick in the head All the laughter is just gettin' me sad Even the stars have turned cherry red I've been strumming on this gay guitar Well, I'm smoking a cheap cigar Well, the ghost of our old love has not gone away It don't look it like it will anytime soon You left me standing in the doorway, crying Under the midnight moon Well, maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't But not tonight, and it won't be here I know, this horse that I'm riding on, could throw me, but it don't The mercy of God must be near It always means so much Even the softest touch I'd be crazy if I took you back again It would go up against every rule You left me standing in the doorway, crying Suffering like a fool When the last rays of daylight go down Buddy, you'll roll no more I can hear them silent bells in my head And I wonder who they're ringing for Don't pass me by Give me liberty or let me die Last night, I was dancing with a stranger But she just reminded me that you were the one You left me standing in the doorway, crying In the dark land of the sun I'll eat when I'm hungry, and I'll drink when I'm dry And I'll live my life on the square And even if the flesh falls off of my face I know someone will be there to care I've been riding on that midnight train Got ice water in my veins I see nothing to be gained by any explanation There's no words that need to be said Well, you left me standing in the doorway, crying With the blues wrapped around my head

We live in the doorway I fell in love and there was nothing there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You In our tracks Come on in and rest We live in the doorway I fell in love and there was nothing there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You Can you hear your thoughts? Do you fear the worst? Tell me what I am not What I am not I am not Don't tell me that I cannot That I cannot I cannot And I will not Live in the doorway I fell in love and there was no one there to save me from I fell alone into I fell alone into You You Life in the doorway Colors us the wrong way You won't lose But you will never win Life in the doorway Colors us the wrong way I would rather try I would rather try I would rather try

Go find someone else I am not ready to die Go whisper softly To someone else Ask them To lie down You can tell 'em I'll be back in the minute For now is not the time I was there already I think, as a child But I really can't remember why Someone in the doorway Someone in the light Someone through the wall always Someone left outside Go find someone else I am not ready to decide Go whisper softly To the man with no time Ask him To pick sides You can tell 'em I'll be back in a minute For now is not the time Gone to find the root they all chewed on For millennia Do something better with my time Someone in the doorway Someone in the light Someone in my hallway Someone wearin' a new hat Someone on the floor outside They say you don't come back from that Into the light of a bad dream Into the laughter of a war England a sedative on my tongue Goodbye, goodbye that's all Goodbye, goodbye that's all

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, And I shouldn't come by I know But I found myself in trouble darling, And I had no place else to go Got some whiskey from a bar man, Got some cocaine from a friend I just had to keep on moving, Till I was back in your arms again ---- Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I never do, What I'm supposed to do Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right ---- Well you know how it is with me baby, You know I just can't stand myself It takes a whole lot of medicine, For me to pretend to be somebody else.

Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone, love had moved on Left me alone thinking of You, there was never any other You, and I were created to be true Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (That was something baby) Deep in our soul, deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin' And I might as well have been dyin' when We were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You, and only you It was you, only you You, always you

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love a love that was so strong And as I still walk on I think of the things We've done together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my runaway I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder baby yeah you know why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my little runaway Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) You left me standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway) Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) Standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway)
