When One Door Opens Songtext
von Joe Bonamassa

It starts close to the heart
The way waters part
Go straight up to my neck
Heard no warnings of the wreck
Had a shot to top it all
Never feared the fall
A lifetime of gold
Hope it lasts until I′m old

Are you a tycoon or a Moses?
Do you see what light exposes?
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
Are you a time clock or a wrist watch?
A minuteman or a door lock
Every time one door opens
One closes on me


To be king of the heap
Don't matter if you sleep
I was cool to be steered
Thinked and missed, the abyss is near
Champagne all the ready
My hands never steady
My head′s always down
All around I hear the sounds

Are you a tycoon or a Moses?
Do you see what light exposes?
Every time one door opens
One closes on me
Are you a time clock or a wrist watch?
A minuteman or a door lock
Every time one door opens
One closes on me

Lay me deep in my grave
Lay me down with a silver spade
There's a long road for a man
Long road that has no end

Eight white horses in a line
Eight white horses outta time
Gonna lay me down
Lay me deep in that cold ground


In all of you I confide
All my demons inside
Execution's been stayed
No decisions have been made
