Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Close The Door Lightly When You Go

Turn around, don't whisper out my name

For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame

I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know

But close the door lightly when you go

Who was the one that stole my mind

Who was the one that robbed my time

Who was the one who made me feel unkind

So fare thee well, sweet love of mine

Take your tears to someone else's eyes

They're made of glass

And are cut like wounded lies

Memories are drifting like the snow

So close the door lightly when you go

Who was the one that stole my mind

Who was the one that robbed my time

Who was the one who made me feel unkind

So fare thee well, sweet love of mine

Don't look back to where you once hade been

Look straight ahead

When you're walking through the rain

And find a light

If the path gets dark and cold

But close the door lightly when you go

Who was the one that stole my mind

Who was the one that robbed my time

Who was the one who made me feel unkind

So fare thee well, sweet love of mine

Turn around, don't whisper out my name

For like a breeze, it'd stir a dying flame

I'll miss someone, if it eases you to know

But close the door lightly when you go
