My life's a door and she walked right through it   A stranger in an even stranger place   I shot a glance as she walked by me   That my mind could not erase      Anything she longs for could be here   But it was her choice to disappear   And I'm the only thing she left behind      I keep on going, never knowing, if the gates have all been shut   I keep on staying, stuck inside my loneliness, while she's in Iowa      A cup of coffee, a book to write in   She did with long strokes of her pen   Shiny auburn hair on the softest ever skin and   A face I wanna see again      Anything she longs for could be here   But it was her choice to disappear   And I'm the only thing she left behind      I keep on going, never knowing, if the gates have all been shut   I keep on staying, stuck inside my loneliness, while she's in Iowa      My mind undresses, while she caresses   I close my eyes so I can feel   For once in my life I've felt this connected   And it just might have been for real      Anything she longs for could be here   But it was her choice to disappear   And I'm the only thing she left behind      I keep on going, never knowing, if the gates have all been shut   I keep on staying, stuck inside my loneliness, while she's in Iowa
