Lyrics
I am moving closer to the ledge,
with a story from the bridge,
of how I finally lost my edge,
a word about her broken pledge
She said “leave,
I don’t love you anymore
It’s not the same as before,
I can’t forgive what you stand for”
With that she went and slammed the door
Jesus, is that you knocking on my door?
Well I don’t hear well anymore, my ears are ringing from before
My true love slammed the door
Slam the door, slam the door
Hope & mercy,
were you with me ever?
with nothing ahead of me
except this cold river
Mercy, I can’t find you anywhere,
seems no one’s got some to spare
must have vanished in thin air,
checked the door and no one’s there
It just draws a big blank stare
Slam the door, slam the door,
slam the door
There’s no moral to this poem
and no words to sing along
I‘m embittered by the wrong,
checking out, so long
slam the door.
