Back Door Man Lyrics - Solace - Sarah Mclachlan

You open your eyes look around 

You feel the earth it wanders 

Out from under your feet the ground 

Is not firm but soft and weak like skin 

Under the touch cannot stop to falter 

Now the damage is done the certainties gone 

The spirits altered 

[Chorus] 

And now the angry morning 

Gives the early signs of warning 

You must face alone the plans you make 

Decisions they will try to break 

Our hands are tied on the table 

Maybe you can try at the back door man 

While the helpless line up on the doorsteps 

'Cause its all they can do to try to get through 

All of your life you've lived in a world as pure 

As Eden's sixth day now all you've been allowed 

Is taken away they will not let you be so proud 

And you have felt the fear growing inside 

Protest follows far and wide they'll see how long 

It will take 'till you fall from so much denied 

Your soul it aches relentless from the fear 

That they will never guess so unfair they 

They can make you feel so small 

And the fear you know is real
