Standing in the Doorway
Bonnie Raitt

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.
