The Light Under the Door Lyrics by Paula Kelley

Nothing / Everything

2001

[Verse 1]
Now and again
A tiny ray of sunlight warms my face
And he calls out to me
Now and again
A construction paper timeline looks ahead
On to see what I could be
[Chorus]
Wait in the wings 'til you're called up to sing and you're willing
Every moment revives all the promise that you've died or be fulfilling
[Bridge 1]
I live so be lovely
But everyone's like me
Holed up
Where no one else can see
My memory
[Verse 2]
Now and again
I see myself so clearly
I can feel the colliders all on time
Time and again
I stand here resolutely
Changing lines as another year goes by
[Chorus]
Wait in the wings 'til you're called up to sing and you're willing
Every moment revives all the promise that you've died or be fulfilling
Why have a thing to do when you can't 'cause it's you and it's chilling
[Break]
I live by the light under the door
It's a love that I abhore
I live by the light under the door
I need just a little more
I live by the light under the door
My long shadow tells me more
I came before
[Outro]
Wait in the wings 'til you're called up to sing and you're willing
Ooh, I came before
Every moment revives all the promise that you've died or be fulfilling
Ooh, I came before
Why have a thing to do when you can't 'cause it's you and it's chilling
Ooh, I came before
Every moment revives all the promise that you've died or be fulfilling
Ooh, I came before
And you wait in the wings 'til you're called up to sing and you're willing
Ooh, I came before
Every moment revives all the promise that you've died or be fulfilling
Ooh, I came bef-ooh
