My Door Stays Shut

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Chorus

Bells above the pines go still

Nobody climbs the stair

Nobody climbs the stair

Night comes down and drinks the hill

My door stays shut up there

My door stays shut up there

Verse 1

I keep the tower dark and low

Every leaf burns gold at dawn

No stranger knocks

No one calls my name

No footstep on the stone

Chorus

Bells above the pines go still

Nobody climbs the stair

Nobody climbs the stair

Night comes down and drinks the hill

My door stays shut up there

My door stays shut up there

Verse 2

Windows hold the cold

I sweep the dust alone

Silence is a wall

I built it stone by stone

And I guard it like a throne

Chorus

Bells above the pines go still

Nobody climbs the stair

Nobody climbs the stair

Night comes down and drinks the hill

My door stays shut up there

My door stays shut up there

Bridge

Let the valley wonder

Let the valley wait

Let the valley wonder

What I keep behind the gate

Chorus

Bells above the pines go still

Nobody climbs the stair

Nobody climbs the stair

Night comes down and drinks the hill

My door stays shut up there

My door stays shut up there
