Standing in the Doorway

I've been walking through the Summer nights
 The jukebox playing low
 
 Yesterday everything was going too fast
 Today it's moving too slow
 I've got no place left to turn
 I've got nothing left to burn
 I 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
 Not looking like it will any time 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 stay
 But I don't
 I know the mercy of God must be near
 ♪
 I been riding a 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
