"My Back Door" lyrics


(M. Etheridge) 

When I was a child 
I dreamed like a child of wonder 
With my back in the grass 
My eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars
I knew they cast a spell that I was under 
With my fingers in the dirt
I was part of the earth
Every living thing was part of me

But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone 
I can't feel it 
I can't feel it 
Must've found a way out my back door 
Must've run away out my back door 
Because it's gone, gone, gone

Then I fell in love 
Love gave me a shot of pure desire 
There was nothing else like this 
This unimagined bliss this ecstasy 
Deep inside the night
I believed I saw the light ignite a fire 
And it burned into the dark
It burned deep inside my heart
I thought it would burn eternally 

But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone
I can't feel it
I can't feel it 
Must've found a way out my back door
Must've run away out my back door 
Because it's gone, gone, gone 

So I run into the street 
And I'm shouting into the phone 
Asking everyone I meet
I say have you seen it on my doorstep 
Did you see it in my car 
Have you seen it in the alley 
Was it on the back of some guitar 
Is it sleeping in the hallway
Does it cry all night alone 
Is it selling itself for money 
Does it want, does it want to come home
