C-Minor

[Verse 1]

Our house wrapped in disrepair

A small mouse peeked out from a hole beneath the stairs

Nearby to where my dad sat in his favorite chair

Thinking about the government and muttering a prayer

So I scattered some oats in hopes she'd stay

And sat still to stop from scaring her away

But she hurried on her little way

And scurried 'round my mind ever since, every day

[Chorus]

Open wide my door

My door, my Lord

(Open wide my door)

To whatever makes me love You more

(Open wide my door)

While there's still light to run towards

(Open wide my door)

[Verse 2]

Like water on the dry wood

Equal parts misguided and misunderstood

But all the neighborhood watched a fire burn from where they stood

As the smoke said "we're not half as bad as God is good"

Still there's a whisper in my ear

The voice of loneliness and fear, and I say "Devil, disappear"

I'm still, eh, technically, a virgin after 27 years

Which never bothered me before, what's maybe 50 more?

[Chorus]

Open wide my door

My door, my Lord

(Open wide my door)

To whatever makes me love You more

(Open wide my door)

While there's still light to run towards

(Open wide my door)

[Verse 3]

She came back for the oats (It never ends)

But she brought along a friend (It never ends)

(It never ends, it never ends)

The harder the rain (It never ends)

The lower the flowers in the garden bend (It never ends)

(It never ends, it never ends)

I'd rather never talk again (It never ends)

Than to continue to pretend (It never ends)

That this never ends (It never ends, it never ends)

(It never ends)
