Answering the Door Lyrics

If I could save you, boy
I'd do it a thousand times over
And finally some day it seems
that I meant you well
But I'm not answering the door
We've been this way even more
Time won't be cruel if you let it go this way

And holding on, holding on, and holding on something inside
Cost of it don't slip away
You've been my whole life
But I'm not the answering the door
She's leaving inside even more
Time won't be cruel if you let it go
It's where I'm letting it today

And don't dare me down
Falling like leaves when they're trading
Some piece of sky for the ground
You catch your soul lifting away
so long but
If I could save you, boy
I'd do it a thousand, a thousand times
And maybe in time you will see
I've made up my mind
But I'm not answering the door
She's leaving inside even more
I'm not answering the door
Cuz she's leaving inside even more

And if I could save you
I'd do it a thousand times

I think the lyrics say "Time won't be cruel if you let it go its way / I'm letting it today"... maybe it's just me...

BTW, this is yet another great song of Rachael's... amazing!!!

If I could save you boy I'd do it a thousand times over And finally someday it seems that I meant you well

But I'm not answering the door We've been this way even more

Time won't be cruel if you let it go this way

And holding on Holding on Holding on There’s something inside

Close to me Don't slip away You've been my whole life

But I'm not answering the door She's leaving inside even more

Time won't be cruel if you let it go It's way I'm letting it today

And don't Damn me Down Falling like leaves when they're trading some piece of sky for the ground It catches so well after waiting So long But

If I could save you boy I'd do it a thousand Thousand times and maybe in time you would see I've made up my mind

But I'm not answering the door She's leaving inside even more I'm not answering the door 'cause she's leaving inside even more

And if I could save you I'd do it a thousand times
