Pierce Campbell: Music

Leave The Door Open

(Pierce Campbell)
written by Pierce Campbell
A song about coming home.
To darkness from light, day turns to night
And the white lines they mesmerize
The sun lays down it's head on it's firey red bed
And the roadside changes disguise
That's the time I always think of you
And the smile that I'll soon see
Won't you leave the door open for me


Chorus
No matter where I roam, I long for our home
Won't you leave the door open for me
Won't you leave the door open for me


Every highway sign tells me I have arrived
At another town that I'll just pass through
But they're just dominos falling in a row
In the wake that I make back to you
As I cross thestate line I realize
I'd forgotten my front door keys
Won't you leave the door open for me


chorus


It's good to arrive as I pull in the drive
And the porch light's a much welcomed sight
I close up the carafter driving so far
And take a deep breath of the night
I know it's real late, I can't expect you to wait
But is that your light that I see
Won't you leave the door open for me
