Lyrics
0:00My Back Door - Melissa Etheridge
0:15When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
0:22With my back in the grass my eyes to the sky to see
0:29I believed in the stars and I knew they cast a spell
0:32That I was under with my fingers in the dirt
0:37I was part of the earth every living thing was part of me
0:43But it's gone it's gone
0:46It's gone it's gone gone
0:50I can't feel it I can't feel it
0:56Must've found a way out my back door
1:00Must've run away out my back door
1:03Because it's gone gone gone
1:15Then I fell in love love gave me a shot of pure desire
1:22There was nothing else like this this unimagined bliss this ecstasy
1:29Deep inside the night I believed I saw the light ignite a fire
1:36And it burned into the dark it burned deep inside my heart
1:39I thought it would burn eternally
1:43But it's gone it's gone
1:46It's gone it's gone gone
1:50I can't feel it I can't feel it
1:57Must've found a way out my back door
2:00Must've run away out my back door
2:04Because it's gone
2:13So I run into the street and I'm shouting into the phone
2:20Asking everyone I meet
2:24I say have you seen it on my doorstep Did you see it in my car
2:29Have you seen it in the alley Was it on the back of some guitar
2:33Is it sleeping in the hallway Does it cry all night alone
2:36Is it selling itself for money Does it want does it want to come home
2:51Then I saw the world wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk
2:58With their mouths all white and pale telling all their tales reality
3:05So I picked up a sign and I found my place in line
3:09And I shouted no talk but the men all painted proud
3:14Their words empty and loud are trying hard to sell my dream
3:18And they tell me it's gone
3:21They say it's gone they say it's gone
3:26Oh but I can feel it oh I want to feel it
3:32I can't let it run away out my back door
3:36I can't let it run away out my back door
3:40Lord if I look out there if I look out there every day
3:50I can't let it run away I won't let it run away
3:57But if I look out there every day
