Sign On The Door Lyrics

Wendy's sittin' next to me

 She's trying hard to drink it away 

 And I feel the rumble of the subway 

 Beneath the stage 

 And her eyes are screaming

 And her lips are pursed

 And this ain't her first heartache 

 But it feels like, it feels like the worst 

 And she says

 Can someone tell me how this can happen 

 And I guess that God only knows

 My heart used to be 

 The sweet shop of love 

 But now the sign on the door 

 It says sorry we're closed 

 And I hear myself tell her 

 Some old words I know they won't help 

 And then I feel guilty 

 'Cause I closed some sweet shops myself 

 And we all talk about timing 

 And lifestyles and such 

 But to a heart that's been shattered

 Those words don't mean that much 

 And all of our pining 

 It just goes to show 

 Don't you enter a shop

 With the sign on the door

 Saying sorry we're closed

 And she's been through all the pain

 That one can endure 

 And her new man thinks she loves him 

 But he can't be sure 

 And his heart pines for Wendy 

 She says that's how it goes

 How am I supposed to know 

 He can't read the sign saying 

 Sorry we're closed 

 Yeah we're closed 

 And she says 

 Can someone tell me how this can happen

 And I guess that God only knows

 My heart used to be

 The sweet shop of love

 But there's a sign on the door

 There's a sign on the door [3x]

 One more sign...
