My Back Door

When I was a childI dreamed like a child of wonderWith my back in the grassMy eyes to the sky to seeI believed in the starsI knew they cast a spell that I was underWith my fingers in the dirtI was part of the earthEvery living thing was part of meCHORUSBut it's gone, it's goneIt's gone, it's gone, goneI can't feel itI can't feel itMust've found a way out my back doorMust've run away out my back doorBecause it's gone, gone, goneThen I fell in loveLove gave me a shot of pure desireThere was nothing else like thisThis unimagined bliss this ecstasyDeep inside the nightI believed I saw the light ignite a fireAnd it burned into the darkIt burned deep inside my heartI thought it would burn eternallyCHORUSSo I run into the streetAnd I'm shouting into the phoneAsking everyone I meetI say have you seen it on my doorstepDid you see it in my carHave you seen it in the alleyWas it on the back of some guitarIs it sleeping in the hallwayDoes it cry all night aloneIs it selling itself for moneyDoes it want, does it want to come home
