I'm walking t hrough the summer n ights
Jukebox playing l ow
Yesterday e verything was going too f ast
Today it's moving too s low
I got n o place left to turn
I got nothing l eft to burn
Don't k now if I saw you if I would k iss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't m atter to you anyh ow
You left me s tanding in the doorway c rying
I got nothing to go back to n ow
The light in this p lace is so b ad
Making me s ick in the h ead
All the l aughter is just making me s ad
The stars have turned cherry r ed
I'm strumming on m y gay guit ar
Smoking a c heap cig ar
The ghost of our o ld love has not gone aw ay
Don't look i t like it wil l anyti me soon
You left me s tanding in the doorway c rying
Under the midnight m oon
Maybe they'll g et me a nd maybe they w on't
But not tonight and it won't be h ere
There are things I could s ay but I do n't
I know the mercy of G od must be n ear
I've been r iding the midnight t rain
Got ice water in m y veins
I would be crazy if I took you b ack
It would go up ag ainst every r ule
You left me s tanding in the doorway c rying
Suffering like a f ool
When the l ast rays of d aylight go d own
Buddy you'll r oll no m ore
I can hear the church b ells ringing in the y ard
I wonder who they're ringing f or
I know I can't w in
But my heart just w on't give i n
Last night I d anced with a s tranger
But she j ust reminded m e you were the o ne
You left me s tanding in the doorway c rying
In the dark land of the s un
I'll eat when I'm h ungry d rink when I'm d ry
And live my l ife on the s quare
And even if the flesh falls off of my f ace
I know someone will b e there to c are
It always m eans so much
Even the s oftest touch
I see n othing to be gained by any e xplanat ion
There's no words that n eed to be said
You left me s tanding in the d oorway c rying
Blues wrapped around my h ead
