When Your Doors are Closed

Last night I wanted to be with you
But your doors were closed
I couldn't leave I had so much to give you
But your doors were closed
You say you will never let another man in your heart again
The last one gave you so much pain

You have found a perfect place to hide
Now your doors are closed
You can feel so safeand sure inside
Now your doors are closed
You seem to fear I'll take what I can and then leave after a while
You're mistaken - that's really not my style

When your doors are closed it means the love you need so much can never enter
It takes faith and trust to let somebody into your centre, yeah

Everything is certain like a plan
When your doors are closed
You want love to succeed but it never can
When your doors are closed
I can promise nothing except to give myself wholly to you
Won't you just give a little too

when your doors are closed it's an easy way of hurting your lover
The only trouble is it's you you hurt just as much as the other, yeah

You can be so free and in control
When your doors are closed
Nobody can steel into your soul
Now your doors are closed
You seem to fear I'll leave you when I come to know just what you are
Well I couldn't, it's already gone too far
And I love you
