Etheridge Melissa My Back Door Lyrics

My Back Door Lyrics

When I was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder
With my back in the
grass
My eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars
I knew they
cast a spell that I was under
With my fingers in the dirt
I was part of
the earth
Every living thing was part of me
CHORUS
But it's gone, it's
gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone
I can't feel it
I can't feel
it
Must've found a way out my back door
Must've run away out my back
door
Because it's gone, gone, gone
Then I fell in love
Love gave me a
shot of pure desire
There was nothing else like this
This unimagined
bliss this ecstasy
Deep inside the night
I believed I saw the light
ignite a fire
And it burned into the dark
It burned deep inside my
heart
I thought it would burn eternally
CHORUS
So I run into the
street
And I'm shouting into the phone
Asking everyone I meet
I say
have you seen it on my doorstep
Did you see it in my car
Have you seen it
in the alley
Was it on the back of some guitar
Is it sleeping in the
hallway
Does it cry all night alone
Is it selling itself for
money
Does it want, does it want to come home
