Slowly Close The Door<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step into the midnight garden.<\/p>\n

Slowly close the door.<\/p>\n

I feel the ghost of you beside me.<\/p>\n

Thinking about the times that you were here.<\/p>\n

Feel the eyes of all the people here before.<\/p>\n

Love hangs heavy here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We talked out here on summer nights.<\/p>\n

All those evenings slipped away.<\/p>\n

How did we get to be the people that we are?<\/p>\n

When you get love make it stay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello loneliness I missed you not at all.<\/p>\n

Hello, just another girl I knew.<\/p>\n

Hello memories and snapshots in the rain<\/p>\n

Reading all the writing on the wall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember how it felt when I was young.<\/p>\n

So intense and never real at all.<\/p>\n

Now we know so much about<\/p>\n

The people we\u2019ve become<\/p>\n

How come I still ride out to fall?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Someone told me less is more.<\/p>\n

Said it just to help me on my way.<\/p>\n

No-one told me that you\u2019d take my heart<\/p>\n

And leave it out of doors.<\/p>\n

Should\u2019ve listened when you never said you\u2019d stay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello loneliness I missed you not at all.<\/p>\n

Hello just another girl I knew.<\/p>\n

Hello memories and snapshots in the rain.<\/p>\n

Reading all the writing on the wall.<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m reading all the writing on the wall.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is someone having a laugh or what?<\/h3>\n

This is something I wrote just recently for Frances Shelley <\/a>who asked me if I’d like to do some lyrics. When I got up off the floor I realised it wasn’t a joke at all.<\/p>\n

I drew on things that had happened to me; the midnight garden I stepped into once, a long, long time ago, the one that became the garden that Ben stepped into in Not Your Heart Away<\/a>\u00a0, as well as my own midnight garden I stepped into here.\u00a0I thought about something that happened this past summer.<\/p>\n

This is what came out. It might come out alright yet. The lyric might be ok with a bit of work too.<\/p>\n
