I thought I heard you pulling up outside It¹s just the wind whisperin¹ through the pines I haven¹t seen who I¹m looking for Just empty shadows in my open door The empty closet where you hung your clothes The empty hooks where you hung your coat The cellar steps or the kitchen floor They don¹t catch shadows like an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away? Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? I thought an open door would bring you in Now I guess I¹m gonna have to guess again

I find myself hoping for a storm Each silver lining is a crown of thorns I find myself hoping for the rain You don¹t see shadows on a cloudy day Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out They¹ll all agree with what I¹m talking about They¹d haunt your halls and walk through walls before They¹d ever set foot in an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away? Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? I thought an open door would bring you in Now I guess I¹m gonna have to guess again

I¹m saving nickels and I¹m saving dimes I¹m gonna kiss you where the sun don¹t shine And all those shadows gonna kiss them too Just as long as they come in with you

Do open windows keep the rain away? Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? I thought an open door would bring you in Now I guess I¹m gonna have to guess again
