Standing in the Doorway

      I'm walking through the summer nights Jukebox playing low   Yesterday everything was going 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 standing in the doorway crying I got nothing to go back to now The light in this place is so bad Making me sick in the head   All the laughter is just making me sad The stars have turned cherry red     I'm strumming on my gay guitar   Smoking a cheap cigar    The ghost of our old love has not gone away Don't look it like it will anytime soon You left me standing in the doorway crying 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 riding the midnight train   Got ice water in my veins       I would be crazy if I took you back    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 the church bells  ringing in the yard I wonder who they're ringing 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 standing in the doorway crying 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 means so much          Even the softest touch      I see nothing to be gained by any  explanation There's no words that need to be  said  You left me standing in the doorway crying Blues wrapped around my head          ...
