lyrics

Who’s that by your front door
By first light and last
Who’s that man, heart in hand
Sleeping in your grass

In a coat of young frustration
With unfed appetite
Lock the door Christina
I’m standing on your porch tonight

Who’s that by your front door
We all thought he died
Who’s that man knee deep in sand
Waiting on the tide

With an atlas and a ladder
Undaunted by the height
Lock the door Christina
I’m standing on your porch tonight

Who else ever cared
Who else ever tried
Who’s that man come to stand
Right by your crying side

Courageless but honest
My empty arms invite
Lock the door Christina
I’m Standing on your porch tonight

Destined to misuse you
Determined to do you right
Lock the door Christina
Lock the door Christina
Better lock the door Christina
I’m standing on your porch tonight
