Standing In The Doorway Lyrics - Slipstream - Bonnie Raitt

I'm a-walkin' through the summer nights 

The jukebox playing low 

Yesterday everything was goin' 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 standin' in the doorway cryin' 

I got nothing to go back to now. 

The light in this place is so bad 

Makin' me sick in the head 

All the laughter is just makin' me sad 

The stars have turned cherry red.

I'm strummin' on my gay guitar 

Smokin' a cheap cigar 

The ghost of our old love has not gone away 

Don't look it like it will any time soon 

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' 

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 ridin' the midnight train 

Got ice water in my vein. 

I would be crazy if I took you back 

It would go up against every rule 

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' 

Sufferin' like a fool.

When the last rays of daylight go down 

Buddy you're older or more 

I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard 

I wonder who they're ringin' 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 standin' in the doorway cryin' 

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 meaned so much, even the softest touch. 

I see nothin' to be gained by any explanation 

There's no words that need to be said 

You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' 

Blues wrapped around my head.
