Lyrics
Through the Back Door
Written by: Catherine Carney-Richman
THROUGH THE BACK DOOR
By Catherine Carney-Richman
(Verse 1)
In the shadow of the moonlight.
In the glimpse of the stars.
I am foiled by a cloak of chemistry
I am punch-drunk from this feeling
Like a star-struck groupie
Then you kiss me and I fall weak in the knees
(Prechorus)
You give me ease like my favorite pair of jeans
Yet any moment my passion will un-seam
I don't want this day to ever end.
It?s the day I realize I'm in love.
So please don't leave now, I am too swept away
So put those keys down and follow me this way,
(Chorus)
Through the back door
Up the stairwell
Down the hallway to the right.
I'll be waiting for you true love by the candle light.
And don't worry about tomorrow.
It?s much too far away.
And the past doesn't matter.
We only have today.
(Verse 2)
We dance and we sway to those old melodies
That remind us of the beauty of romance
I am spellbound and bewitched now
There is no turning back
And with each stride I am more and more entranced
(Prechorus)
The moan from ocean tells me I can't wait anymore
Oh yes its time to let our love downpour
I don't care about the rules anymore
My cares are locked out of our rapport
So please don't leave now, I am too swept away
put those keys down and follow me this way,
(Chorus)
Through the back door
Up the stairwell
Down the hallway to the right.
I'll be waiting for you true love by the candle light.
And don't worry about tomorrow.
Its much too far away.
And the past doesn't matter.
We only have today.
(Bridge)
My good sense says slow down, take it slow
But my heart just won't let me
I am bursting like a levy about to overflow
I just can't set myself free.
(Final Verse)
The cards on the table show hearts take the game
So put those keys down and follow me to the flame
(Chorus)
Through the back door
Up the stairwell
Down the hallway to your right.
I'll be waiting for you true love by the candle light.
And don't worry about tomorrow.
Its much too far away.
And the past doesn't matter.
We only have today.
(repeat)
