STANDING IN THE DOORWAY I'm walking through the summer nights Jukebox playing low Yesterday everything was going too fast Today, it's moving too slow I got no place left to turn I got nothing left to burn 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 Don't look like it will anytime 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 say but I don't I know the mercy of God must be near I've been riding the 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

ABANDONAT AL PORTAL Passejo per les nits d'estiu El jukebox sona fluix Ahir tot anava massa de pressa Avui, tot es mou amb lentitud No em queda cap lloc on anar No em queda res per cremar No sé si et veiés, et besaria o et mataria, Segurament a tu et seria ben igual Em vas deixar abandonat al portal, plorant Ara no tinc cap motiu per tornar La llum d'aquest lloc és molt dolenta Em mareja i em fa maldecap Totes aquestes rialles em posen trist Els estels s'han tornat del color cirera Rasco la meva alegre guitarra Em fumo un cigar barat El fantasma del nostre amor no se n'ha anat I no sembla que ho hagi de fer aviat Em vas deixar abandonat al portal, plorant Sota la lluna de mitjanit Potser m'enxamparan o potser no Però no serà aquesta nit ni aquí Hi ha coses que podria dir però no les dic Sé que la misericòrdia de Déu és a tocar He viatjat en el tren de la mitjanit Tinc aigua glaçada a les venes Hauria d'estar boig per què tornessis amb mi Aniria contra totes les normes Em vas deixar abandonat al portal, plorant Patint com només ho fa un beneit Quan s'apaguin els darrers rajos del dia Amic meu, ja no et caldrà seguir rodant Sento les campanes repicar al jardí Em pregunto per a qui estan tocant Sé que no puc guanyar Però el meu cor no es vol rendir Ahir a la nit vaig ballar amb una desconeguda I em va recordar que tu encara ets l'única Em vas deixar abandonat al portal, plorant A la terra fosca del sol Menjo quan tingui gana, bec quan estigui sec I visc la vida honestament I malgrat em quedi en els ossos Sé que hi haurà algú que em cuidarà Per mi significa molt La carícia més suau No veig perquè donar explicacions No cal pronunciar cap mot Em vas deixar abandonat a la porta, plorant El cap emboirat amb tristor
