Doors Lyrics

I've walked through doors of faded wood, so tall and grim they stood

Each a promise of a dawn, new day underfoot

But each door lit the shadows, not the golden light I sought

Footprints on an endless roof, each victory dearly bought

So many doors I've passed through, hinges worn by hope and rue

Behind each frame, a room the same and dreams that never grew

No matter how I knock and plead, no matter what I dare

The doors keep closing on me, silence fills the air

I've held the keys of silver, keys that shimmer like stars

Turned them gently in the locks, felt the metal cool and harsh

But the rooms beyond stay silent, curtains drawn against the day

Every hope I harbored tightly in whispers swept away

So many doors I've passed through, hinges worn by hope and rue

Behind each frame, a room the same and dreams that never grew

No matter how I knock and plead, no matter what I dare

The doors keep closing on me, silence fills the air

Sometimes the heart grows weary, dreams like autumn leaves do fall

The corridors get longer, echoes fill the empty halls

I search for just one exit, one open gate to a new start

But every door I push on feels heavier on the heart

So many doors I've traveled, my hands are bruised but push again

Hoping for a different view, a break from all this rain
