MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics : "My Back Door"

When I was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder
With my back in the grass

My eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars
I knew they cast a spell that I was under

With my fingers in the dirt
I was part of the earth
Every living thing was part of me


But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone

I can't feel it
I can't feel it
Must've found a way out my back door

Must've run away out my back door
Because it's gone, gone, gone


Then I fell in love
Love gave me a shot of pure desire
There was nothing else like this

This unimagined bliss this ecstasy
Deep inside the night
I believed I saw the light ignite a fire

And it burned into the dark
It burned deep inside my heart
I thought it would burn eternally


But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone

I can't feel it
I can't feel it
Must've found a way out my back door

Must've run away out my back door
Because it's gone, gone, gone


So I run into the street
And I'm shouting into the phone
Asking everyone I meet

I say have you seen it on my doorstep
Did you see it in my car
Have you seen it in the alley

Was it on the back of some guitar
Is it sleeping in the hallway
Does it cry all night alone

Is it selling itself for money
Does it want, does it want to come home
