I'm walkin' through the summer nights
Jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was goin' 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 standin' in the doorway cryin'
I got nothing to go back to now.
Maybe they'll get me, and maybe they won't
But not tonight and it won't be here
There are things i could say but i don't
I know the mercy of god must be near.
I've been ridin' the midnight train
I got ice water in my vein.
I would be crazy if i took you back
It would go up against every rule
You left me standin' in the doorway cryin'
Sufferin' like a fool.
When the last rays of daylight go down
Buddy youll roll no more
I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard
Wonder who they're ringin' 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.
