When One Door Opens

It starts close to the heart The way waters part Go straight up to my neck Heard no warnings of the wreck Had a shot to top it all Never feared the fall A lifetime of gold Hope it lasts until I'm old Are you a tycoon or a Moses? Do you see what light exposes? Every time one door opens One closes on me Are you a time clock or a wrist watch? A minuteman or a door lock Every time one door opens One closes on me To be king of the heap Don't matter if you sleep I was cool to be steered Thinked and missed, the abyss is near Champagne all the ready My hands never steady My head's always down All around I hear the sounds Are you a tycoon or a Moses? Do you see what light exposes? Every time one door opens One closes on me Are you a time clock or a wrist watch? A minuteman or a door lock Every time one door opens One closes on me Lay me deep in my grave Lay me down with a silver spade There's a long road for a man Long road that has no end Eight white horses in a line Eight white horses outta time Gonna lay me down Lay me deep in that cold ground In all of you I confide All my demons inside Execution's been stayed No decisions have been made
