after all the windows on the ground floor had been broken after all the undemandin officers had spoken after all the trouble after all o the commotion i walked right through the door was always open i climbed the western wall without anybody knowin i held the guardsman captive with a pistol i had stolen he just poured a cup of coffee and said son now here s a notion the next time you drop by the door is always open i waited for the sun but it was already dawn it was already dawn breakin fast all along and i waited for her song but she was already gone she was already gone breakin fast all along so it seems i ve spent a lifetime arrested and beholden standin on the threshold absolutely frozen waitin on some god above to tell me i was chosen instead i spoke myself the door was always open instead i spoke myself the door was always open
