richard thompson - one door opens (2014) lyrics

[verse 1]
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, and she may forsake you
drift away like a phantom in a fever
who walks into your heart of solitude?
who walks into the den of the deceiver?

[chorus]
oh, 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 bigger fish to fry

[verse 2]
one door opens, anothеr shuts behind
one sun sets and anothеr sun she rises
love comes to you in old familiar ways
love comes to you in shadows and disguises
love may break like a precious string of pearls
treasured memories, they roll away and scatter
make believe that there’s ice runs through my veins
shrug my shoulders to say it doesn’t matter
[chorus]
oh, 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 bigger fish to fry (ah)

[verse 3]
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
