Open Doors Lyrics - Josh Ritter

I thought I heard you pulling up outside 

It's just the wind whisperin' through the pines 

I haven't seen who I'm looking for 

Just empty shadows in my open door 

The empty closet where you hung your clothes 

The empty hooks where you hung your coat 

The cellar steps or the kitchen floor 

They don't catch shadows like an open door 

Do open windows keep the rain away? 

Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? 

I thought an open door would bring you in 

Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

I find myself hoping for a storm 

Each silver lining is a crown of thorns 

I find myself hoping for the rain 

You don't see shadows on a cloudy day 

Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out 

They'll all agree with what I'm talking about 

They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before 

They'd ever set foot in an open door 

Do open windows keep the rain away? 

Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? 

I thought an open door would bring you in 

Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again 

I'm saving nickels and I'm saving dimes 

I'm gonna kiss you where the sun don't shine 

And all those shadows gonna kiss them too 

Just as long as they come in with you

Do open windows keep the rain away? 

Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? 

I thought an open door would bring you in 

Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
