One door opens, another shuts behind One sun sets and another sun she rises Love comes to you in old familiar ways Love comes to you in shadows and disguises
She may quit you, she may forsake you Drift away like a phantom in a fever Who walks in to your heart of solitude Who walks into the lair of the deceiver
They say it was my turn They say I had it coming They say that’s what you earn For living through a lie If I could have my way I’d leave it all tomorrow There’s sorrow if I stay I’ve other fish to fry
When love breaks like a precious string of pearls A thousand memories, they roll away and scatter Make believe that there’s ice runs through my veins Shrug my shoulders, as if it doesn’t matter
