My Back Door Lyrics - Brave And Crazy - Melissa Etheridge

When I was a child 

I dreamed like a child of wonder 

With my back in the grass 

My eyes to the sky to see 

I believed in the stars 

I knew they cast a spell that I was under 

With my fingers in the dirt 

I was part of the earth 

Every living thing was part of me

CHORUS 

But it's gone, it's gone 

It's gone, it's gone, gone 

I can't feel it 

I can't feel it 

Must've found a way out my back door 

Must've run away out my back door 

Because it's gone, gone, gone 

Then I fell in love 

Love gave me a shot of pure desire 

There was nothing else like this 

This unimagined bliss this ecstasy 

Deep inside the night 

I believed I saw the light ignite a fire 

And it burned into the dark 

It burned deep inside my heart 

I thought it would burn eternally

CHORUS 

So I run into the street 

And I'm shouting into the phone 

Asking everyone I meet 

I say have you seen it on my doorstep 

Did you see it in my car 

Have you seen it in the alley 

Was it on the back of some guitar 

Is it sleeping in the hallway 

Does it cry all night alone 

Is it selling itself for money 

Does it want, does it want to come home 

Then I saw the world 

Wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk. 

With the mouths all white and pale 

Telling all their tales reality 

So I picked up a sign 

And I found a place in line and I shouted no talk 

The men all painted proud 

Their words empty and loud 

Are trying hard to sell my dream 

They tell me it's gone, gone 

gone, gone 

But I can feel it 

Oh, I wanna feel it 

I can't let it run away out my back door 

If I look out there every day
