THE DOOR Words & Music © P. Pascoe

HOW DO WE MAKE SENSE OF WHAT MAY SEEM WRONG OR RIGHT?
AT TIMES ITS ALL SUCH A DARK MYSTERIOUS MESS
LIFES LIKE A RIVER: ONE MOMENT, ONE LOOK’S TOO BRIGHT
NEXT DAY ITS TOO DEEP TO GUESS.

I'M BLINKING THROUGH MY TEARS
THINKING THIS JUST ISN'T FAIR
TO THINK OF YOUR SMILE JUST MAKES ME CRY MORE
SEEING YOU IN YOUR DESPAIR FEELING IT, I’M WITH YOU THERE
BUT YOU STAND ALONE BEFORE THE DOOR

THINKING BACK TO ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD
RIGHT NOW JUST SEEMS LIKE A CRUEL JOKE
WHO EVER GUESSED THIS PATH COULD HURT SO BAD
I’M GONNA TAKE A WALK IN THE RAIN IN A SLATE GREY CLOAK

I KNOW THAT LYING HERE MAKES NO SENSE
CRYING IN THE DARK, EVEN LESS
BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T FIND THE LIGHT
BUT I'M TRYING BUT EVEN SO I'M SIGHING COS I KNOW
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T WIN THIS FIGHT

WHEN I THINK BACK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE STOOD FOR
LOOKING BACK SOMETIMES OUR VIEW IS SOMETIMES LIKE A FLOODED RIVER
WE’LL ALL TAKE LEAVES OUT OF YOUR BROOK FOR SURE
WHEN ALL’S SAID AND DONE
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TAKE, IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN.
I'M BLINKING THROUGH MY TEARS THINKING THIS JUST ISN'T FAIR
TO THINK OF YOUR SMILE JUST MAKES ME CRY MORE
SEEING YOU IN YOUR DESPAIR FEELING IT, I’M WITH YOU THERE
BUT YOU STAND ALONE BEFORE THE DOOR

PAIN GRIEF AND HAPPINESS IN THIS LIFE
PAIN GRIEF AND HAPPINESS IT’S PASSING BY
