Slamdoor

11 January 1995

Things have not been right for a long time
The milk's been turning sour for a while
Kind thoughts have flown away - like swifts in the summer
The fires of love grow dim without a smile

Chorus
If you must leave now
Please don't slam the door as you go

The curtains are pulled tight behind your window
I'm standing on your pavement just looking in
The distance that's between us is forever
Private dancing - a hobby just for one

Chorus

You've locked me from your vault - I'm on the outside
You've shut yourself away - inside your head
You say you don't have time for silly love songs
You want to know yourself before your dead

Chorus

You gotta walk that lonesome valley   C  C  C C
You gotta walk it by yourself         G7 G7 C C
Nobody here can walk it for you       F  F  C C
You gotta walk it by yourself         G7 G7 C C

I can't go where you've gone - let me down easy
Our worlds drift apart - half understood
Drawn to different poles of the soul's magnet
You say your drawn - to the good

Chorus
