Standing At The Door

Allan Taylor · Out Of Time [1991]

I came through from Germany and drove all through the night

I had to get to Amsterdam to catch an early flight

Just an hour to England and I finally made it home

But all too soon it's over, I have to leave again



Seems all I do is say goodbye, I don't want to leave no more

'Cause the leaving's that much harder when you're standing at the door



I see a lot of places and the living's pretty good

I'm not sure if I'd change a thing, I don't know if I could

But lately I've been gone too long and the nights at home are few

Give me one more night in England, give me one more night with you



Seems all I do is say goodbye, I don't want to leave no more

'Cause the leaving's that much harder when you're standing at the door



Here's looking to the lady who guides me home at night

I see her in the distance, she's smiling in the light

I sometimes think she's watching me and she's keeping me from harm

As I travel through the lonely night to make it home again



Seems all I do is say goodbye, I don't want to leave no more

'Cause the leaving's that much harder when you're standing at the door
