Close The Door Lyrics - Lynn Ahrens

These strangers come calling 

Soon enough, they're gone 

The twilight is falling 

Lamps will soon go on 

And where does summer go? 

I will never know 

Summer used to last endlessly 

Children all in white, running down the sand to me 

To me 

These strangers sent packing 

What do they expect? 

So grasping 

So lacking 

Why not be direct? 

The beating of my heart after they depart, lying wide away through the night 

Will you ever come running home to me? 

You might 

You might 

I've believed so long 

I have dared to hope that the door might open and that you might enter
