Close Another Door
(Jim Quealy)

From the garden, I look at you
Helpless, I stand
Tear in my eye
Your key in my hand
Leaving all your dreams and plans
To this ocean air
I won’t need them anymore
I’ll be where you won’t find me
I’ll close another door behind me

So today, one more ending begins
Can’t believe it could ever have been
Tucked away in time
All that remains
Vacant rooms and a drying floor
About to be a memory
I’ll close another door behind me

All your walls may crumble in time
Now you stand so dignified
I’ll tip my hat and say goodbye
Don’t know what I’m heading for
I keep moving blindly
I’ll close another door behind me

For a short time, this was my home
A finer hotel, I’ve never known
I’ll be back someday
If only to say
“Doesn’t it look fine?”
Classic design
Once upon a time
It was mine
