Every time it rains Dust can't dry Rust takes hold See it in the sky You want to go Clouds come Standing in the doorway You run, why you want to run away Sky falls, take it as a sign Who knows what I am gonna find

I'm just waiting on a friend Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah I'm not waiting on a lady Just waiting on a friend Watching girls passing by, it ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls

"Little boy, don't be scared Little boy, don't be sad My mother standing in the doorway Friday night, a smile on her face And I'll always be that little boy I was only ten years old Like the back of my hand, knew the roads I swerved my bike and lost

I can see you standing in every doorway Every night, a fleeting glimpse of candlelight Chases 'cross the atmosphere, but you're not here And I see the shape of moonlight on the cityscape But now the skyline wears a shroud I hear your voice in every crowd
