Standing In The Doorway - Bonnie Raitt

I’m walkin' through the summer nights

Jukebox playin' low

Yesterday everything was goin' too fast

Today, it’s movin' too slow

I got no place left to turn

I got nothin' left to burn

Don’t know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you

Probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow

You left me standin' in the doorway, cryin'

I got nothin' 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 been ridin' 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 standin' in the doorway, cryin'

Sufferin' like a fool

When the last rays of daylight go down

Buddy, you’ll roll no more

I can hear church bells ringin' in the yard

Wonder who they’re ringing' for

Oh, I know I can’t win

But my heart, it just won’t give in I see nothin' to be gained by any explanation

There are no words that need to be said

You left me standin' in the doorway, cryin'

Blues wrapped around my head
