Joe Bonamassa - When One Door Opens
It starts close to the heart
The way waters part
I was straight up to my neck
Heard no warnings of the wreck
Had a shot to top it all
Never feared the fall
A lifetime of gold
Hope it lasts until I'm old
Are you a tycoon or a Moses
Do you see what light exposes
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
Are you a time clock or a wrist watch
A minuteman or a door lock
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
To be king of the heap
Don't matter if you sleep
I was cool to be steered
Thinked and missed, the abyss is near
Champagne all the ready
My hands never steady
My head's always down
All around I hear the sounds
Are you a tycoon or a Moses
Do you see what light exposes
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
Are you a time clock or a wrist watch
A minuteman or a door lock
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
Lay me deep in my grave
Lay me down with a silver spade
There's a long road for a man
Long road that has no end
Eight white horses in a line
Eight white horses outta time
Gonna lay me down
Lay me deep in that cold ground
In all of you I confide
All my demons inside
Execution's been stayed
No decisions have been made...
