Open The Door, Open

Bear Quartet · Gay Icon [2001]

called you when I got there

but I, I hung up

when I heard your answer

I knew that it'd been a bad idea



instead I took a walk

something I've perfected

I went for the right to

remain silent and unaffected



got so little to live for

but it's there everyday

wish I could say I never

want or need to see you again



every time I pass here

the same scene's released

even as it hurts me it's like

it happened to someone else



how I stood looking out

at a moon as low as me

and there in the window

reflected I saw you approach



had so little to live for

but it was there everyday

I didn't mind going nowhere

because you were always around



one day I'll come

and knock on your door

and to my own surprise

I'll knock some more

hope you'll be there

to open the door, open



got so little to live for

but it's there everyday

sure I know that it's over

it doesn't help me at all



now almost everyone's back

for Christmas and New Year's

and maybe I will see you

what you've forgotten I've kept
