Red Front Door

I can’t help their inviting glances

But I’m trying hard as I can

To stop these hands from sure advances

And put to death the ladies man

I’ll be leaving here after breakfast

I’ll think about it on the train

Come home and pick up where I left us

And give her nothing to explain

I can’t live this way no more

She keeps a candle burning by the red front door

I can’t live this way no more

She falls asleep and waits for me to come in through the red front door

Now, I can hear the whistle blowing

I can feel the trembling

She never asks me where I’m going

And I don’t tell her where I’ve been

Red front door

Red front door

I can’t live this way no more

She keeps a candle burning by the red front door

I can’t live this way no more

She falls asleep and waits for me to come in through the red front door

I can’t live this way no more

She keeps a candle burning by the red front door

I can’t live this way no more

She falls asleep and waits for me to come in through the red front door
