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 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 are no words
that need to be said.
You left me standing in the doorway, crying,

Blues wrapped around my head...
