Harrison wrote the song in August 1969 as a message to Bob Dylan, who was making a comeback to the stage, headlining at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Harrison watched Dylan’s performance and that inspired the lyrics to this song.

[Verse 1]
Why are you still crying?
Your pain is now through
Please, forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So, let out your heart please, please
From behind that locked door
[Verse 2]
It's time we start smiling
What else should we do?
With only this short time
I'm gonna be here with you
And the tales you have taught me
From the things that you saw
Makes me want out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
[Verse 3]
And if ever my love goes
If I'm rich or I'm poor
Please, let out my heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
From behind that locked door
Behind That Locked Door was written by George Harrison.
Behind That Locked Door was produced by Phil Spector & George Harrison.
George Harrison released Behind That Locked Door on Fri Nov 27 1970.
I think that was very much influenced by Bob [Dylan]’s “Nashville Skyline” [1969] period. I actually wrote that the night before the Isle of Wight Festival in [August] 1970.
