Door ajar
Door ajar
Door ajar.
I hit my head on the pillow, hard
I heard a noise from the boulevard
And it made me go down.
I left the door to my room ajar
Felt the rumble of the street-car
And it spiralled me down.
If you could see me
Swallowed by darkness
What would it matter?
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered?
Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another?
That's what I'm thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter.
Door ajar
Door ajar.
I hit my heard on the pillow, hard
I took the words that you said to heart
And it made me feel down.
When I awoke, it was dark outside
Just a flicker from a traffic light
And it signaled me down.
If you could see me
Swallowed in darkness
What would it matter?
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered?
Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another?
That's what I'm thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter.
And if you don't want me now
Then I doubt you ever will
There is nothing I can add
To clinch the deal
And if you don't see me now
And you haven't done so far
In case you change your mind
I'll leave the door ajar
Door ajar
Door ajar
Door ajar.
