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
