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 Close The Door
