Decade

Tonight I walked the hall alone
Past every door this house has grown
And none of them were closed to me
And none of them were meant to be

Ten doors open down the hall
Nine I've sung, I know them all
Every room has kept its light
None of them were wrong or right
Counting down to where I stand
The kid, the coat, the steady hand

Some rooms are small and some are bruised
Some kept the songs I thought I'd lost
But every single one was used
And every one was worth the cost

Ten doors open down the hall
Nine I've sung, I know them all
Every room has kept its light
None of them were wrong or right
Counting down to where I stand
The kid, the coat, the steady hand

If there are ten more doors to come
I'll leave them open, every one
The kid can sing, the man can steer
And both of us are welcome here

I wear it like it's mine
Like I always knew
I can hold a little more
The same snow at the same glass door
Hello in there, I know your face
It never left at all
It sounded like remembering
The morning's better when it's shared
One carried one through every fall

And every door I walked alone
Was walking me the whole way home

And every door stays open now
And every door stays open now
