Don't Close The Door
Gerry Rafferty · Baker Street [1999]
Don't close the door
Don't live here alone tonight
I've been here before
Waiting for the cold daylight
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
Darlin' don't cry
You know my love belongs to you
(Baby)
Don't say goodbye
You know my love belongs to you
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
Don't turn away
But I'm feeling like a crazy man
(Baby)
So much to say
Tell me something I can understand
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
Don't live here alone tonight
I've been here before
Waiting for the cold daylight
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
Darlin' don't cry
You know my love belongs to you
(Baby)
Don't say goodbye
You know my love belongs to you
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
Don't turn away
But I'm feeling like a crazy man
(Baby)
So much to say
Tell me something I can understand
Just wait a little longer
Just wait a little longer
Don't be running away
