lyrics

I left my body on your doorstep last night. The low wind made me shiver and the half moon took my eyes. Please open your door for me. Please. I’m getting cold. Please open your door for me. Please. Before I get too old. You packed one suitcase and gave up all the rest. And now this home is empty. But there’s nothing to lose when there’s nothing left. And the half moon rises up above that train where passengers forget their name and never know just where they’re going. And you’d been travelling by that way and never gave a thought to how you’d whisper to me you’d left long ago. So please open your door for me. Please. I’m getting cold. Please open your door for me. Please. Before I get too old. It gets too quiet waiting for the sun to rise above us. It gets too quiet waiting for the sun to overwhelm us. It gets too quiet waiting for the sun to overtake us. It gets too quiet waiting for you and I’m always waiting. I left my body on your doorstep last night. The low wind made me shiver and the half moon stole my life.
