Standing In The Doorway

I'm walking through the summer nights
The jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was going 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 standing in the doorway crying
I got nothing to go back to now.

Maybe they'll get me, maybe they won't
But not tonight, and it won't be here
There are things that i could say, but i don't
I know the mercy of god must be near
I've been riding the midnight train
I got ice water in my veins
I would be crazy if i took you back
It would go up against any rule
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Suffering like a fool.

When the last rays of daylight go down
Buddy, you're old no more
I can hear church bells ringing in the yard
I wonder who they're ringing for?

Oh, i know i can't win
But my heart, it just won't give in.

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
There's no words that need to be said
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Blues wrapped around my head.
