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 āleave,
I donāt love you anymore
Itās not the same as before,
I canāt forgive what you stand forā
With that she went and slammed the door
Jesus, is that you knocking on my door?
Well I donāt 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 canāt find you anywhere,
seems no oneās got some to spare
must have vanished in thin air,
checked the door and no oneās there
It just draws a big blank stare
Slam the door, slam the door,
slam the door
Thereās no moral to this poem
and no words to sing along
Iām embittered by the wrong,
checking out, so long
slam the door.
