Half Open Door

When I was a little girl and I couldn't fall asleep
My mother left the door half open so that I could feel at ease

Then she would wander around the house at night singing made up songs for me
I never felt alone or lonely when she sang so softly

Around the corner of our house
There's some people hanging out every day
They are always worried
Chasing something they believe they need to survive

It's not rain or light
From my half open door in the night

When I was a little girl and I couldn't fall asleep
My mother left the door half open so that I could feel at ease

As she would wander around the house at night singing made up songs for me
I never felt alone or lonely when she sang so softly

Around the corner of our house
There's some people hanging out every day
They are always worried
Chasing something they believe they need to survive

It's not rain or light
From my half open door in the night

When I was young and fell ill I always wanted this
That my mother would put her warm hands on my head
I still want this
