Lyrics

After all the windows On the ground floor had been broken After all the undemandin' officers had spoken After all the trouble After all o' the commotion I walked right through The door was always open I climbed the western wall Without anybody knowin' I held the guardsman captive With a pistol I had stolen He just poured a cup of coffee And said, "Son now here's a notion The next time you drop by The door is always open." I waited for the sun But it was already dawn It was already dawn Breakin' fast all along And I waited for her song But she was already gone She was already gone Breakin' fast all along So it seems I've spent a lifetime Arrested and beholden Standin' on the threshold Absolutely frozen Waitin' on some God above To tell me I was chosen Instead I spoke myself The door was always open Instead I spoke myself The door was always open
