Josh Ritter lyrics : "Open Doors"

I thought I heard you pulling up outside
It's just the wind whisperin' through the pines
I haven't seen who I'm looking for

Just empty shadows in my open door
The empty closet where you hung your clothes
The empty hooks where you hung your coat

The cellar steps or the kitchen floor
They don't catch shadows like an open door


Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in

Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

I find myself hoping for a storm

Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
I find myself hoping for the rain
You don't see shadows on a cloudy day

Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before

They'd ever set foot in an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away?

Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again


I'm saving nickels and I'm saving dimes
I'm gonna kiss you where the sun don't shine

And all those shadows gonna kiss them too
Just as long as they come in with you


Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in

Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
