Door ajar
Door ajar
Door ajar

I hit my head on the pillow, hard
I heard a noise from the boulevard
And it made me go down

I left the door to my room ajar
Felt the rumble of the street-car
And it spiraled me down

If you could see me
Swallowed by darkness
What would it matter
Would it awaken
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered

Would you come running
If you could hear me
Some way or another?
That’s what I’m thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter
Door ajar
Door ajar

I hit my head on the pillow, hard
I took the words that you said to heart
And it made me feel down

When I awoke it was dark outside
Just a flicker from a traffic light
And it signaled me down

If you could see me
Swallowed in darkness
(And if you don't want me now)
What would it matter
(Then I doubt you ever will)
Would it awaken
(There is nothing I can add)
Feelings forsaken
Faded and scattered
(To clinch the deal)

Would you come running
If you could hear me
(And if you don't see me now)
Some way or another
(And you haven't done so far)
That’s what I’m thinking
Watching the stars reflect in the gutter
(In case you change your mind)
(I'll leave the door ajar)

Door ajar
Door ajar
