"Through A Door" lyrics

"Through A Door"

Heard a woman through a door
Say that she hopes she goes first
Couldn't listen anymore
And my heart went out to her

Hearts can travel through closed doors
They can wander empty halls
If you let your heart go free
It'll always come back full home

No one noticed it but me
No one else was there to see
The world had changed a little bit
A tiny tear, a tiny rip

When I went out, I took the stairs
So I could think and be alone
And my mind was somewhere else
But my feet were walking towards my home

Home is where the light's on
No matter how long you've been gone
Home is where the light's on
No matter how long you've been gone

By tomorrow may it pass
Like a shadow or a storm
Without darkness, is there light?
Without night, is there a morning?

Hearts can travel through hard times
They can reach the distant shores
And on days, I can't find mine
I know it's on its way to yours back home

Home is where the light's on
No matter how long you've been gone
Home is where the light's on
No matter how long you've been gone
Home is where the light's on
No matter how long you've been gone
