I've been walking through the Summer nights   The jukebox playing low   Yesterday everything was going too fast   Today it's moving too slow      I've got no place left to turn   I've got nothing left to burn      I 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 standing in the doorway crying   I got nothing to go back to now      The light in this place is so bad   Making me sick in the head   All the laughter is just making me sad   The stars have turned cherry red      I'm strumming on my gay guitar   Smoking a cheap cigar      The ghost of our old love   Has not gone away   Not looking like it will any time soon   You left me standing in the doorway crying   Under the midnight moon      Maybe they'll get me   And maybe they won't   But not tonight and it won't be here   There are things I could stay   But I don't    I know the mercy of God must be near      I been riding a midnight train   Got ice water in my veins      I would be crazy   If I took you back   It would go up against every rule   You left me standing in the doorway crying   Suffering like a fool      When the last rays of daylight go down   Buddy, you'll roll no more    I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard   I wonder who they're ringing for   I know I can't win   But my heart just won't give in   Last night I danced with a stranger   But she just reminded me you were the one   You left me standing in the doorway crying    In the dark land of the sun       I'll eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry   And live my life on the square   And even if the flesh falls off of my face   I know someone will be there to care   It always means so much   Even the softest touch   I see nothing to be gained by any explanation   There are no words that need to be said   You left me standing in the doorway crying   Blues wrapped around my head
