There's The Door
I wandered in around midnight
Like I've done so many times
She was sittin' at the table
There were no tears in her eyes
It seemed so much unlike her
To be so much at ease
She took a sip of coffee
And softly said to me
"There's the mantle where we keep our wedding picture
There's the bedroom where we made both love and war
And there's the ring that keeps on slipping off your finger
There's no reason we should go on anymore
And there's the door"
So I'm back here on this bar stool
My whole world gone to hell
Behind the bottles there's a mirror
Where a fool can see himself
If I were the man I should be
And not the one I am
I would go back there this minute
And beg for one more chance
There's the jukebox where I wasted all those quarters
Oh, there's a lady trying to get me out on the floor
And there's a chance the one I love would still forgive me
It's a step that I just never took before
And there's the door
There's the door
Like I've done so many times
She was sittin' at the table
There were no tears in her eyes
It seemed so much unlike her
To be so much at ease
She took a sip of coffee
And softly said to me
"There's the mantle where we keep our wedding picture
There's the bedroom where we made both love and war
And there's the ring that keeps on slipping off your finger
There's no reason we should go on anymore
And there's the door"
So I'm back here on this bar stool
My whole world gone to hell
Behind the bottles there's a mirror
Where a fool can see himself
If I were the man I should be
And not the one I am
I would go back there this minute
And beg for one more chance
There's the jukebox where I wasted all those quarters
Oh, there's a lady trying to get me out on the floor
And there's a chance the one I love would still forgive me
It's a step that I just never took before
And there's the door
There's the door
