The Portal [Live] lyrics

There's a house down Willow Lane

Just a simple seaside shack

Through the wind and pourin' rain

She wants you black

There's a portal o'er the door

In the evening, comes a draft

From the life we had before

You left

Lost in Baton Rouge

And all I got's the sense of it

'Cause all I had was you

Lost down Pico Way

And all I got's incensed by it

Now don't you go away

There is nothin' left to say

I love you so

There is nothin' left to do

There is nothin' left to make

I love you so

There is nothin' left of you

I'm in trouble and I do not see the light

There's a problem with my sight

It's a fight to stay alive and it's not fair

You're everywhere

Callin' up my pals

But they're all gone and tired of me

And all my cryin' spells

Talkin' back to fate

But fate has done expired on me

You who knew me well

I'm in trouble and my heart is set to fold

There's a problem with my soul

I'm a stone and it's not rollin' half-way there

You're everywhere

There is nothin' left to say

I love you so

There is nothin' left to do

There is nothin' left to make

I love you so

There is nothin' left of you

Lost on Willow Lane

Our love has turned to tumbleweed

Now don't you blow away
