The Cosmic Door

I only saw her a couple of times
when I tried to catch her eye
every time she would turn away
every time before yesterday

When I was just standing out in the snow
I got a feeling that I didn't know
When we locked eyes from across the street
I felt sure that we were gonna meet

But her lips were sealed when she took my hands
maybe she thought I wouldn't understand
and then we walked for a couple of blocks
down to the train in the empty lot

When I stopped short and I pulled away
looking back to ask her name
but she was gone without a sound

Maybe she fell into another dimension
maybe she blew away when wind changed direction
what a shame I never even caught her name

And it didn't look good when he turned his head
"send more cars" the detective said
he made a sound with the radio
he said "sorry boy, we can't let you go,
we think there's a chance you can give us more
on the girl and the cosmic door,
just take it slow, and start again,
tell us every little thing you can"

Well I was shocked when she took my hands
what can I say to make you understand?
We just danced for a couple of blocks
past the train and the barber shop

Believe me sir, I know this looks bad
I can't explain the effect it's had
But there's a part that I must admit
I was leaning in for a kiss

Maybe she fell into another dimension
maybe she blew away when wind changed direction
what a shame I never even caught her name

Maybe she fell into another dimension
maybe she blew away when the wind changed direction
what a shame I never even caught her name

It's such a shame
I never even caught her name
