I find myself hoping for a storm Each silver lining is a crown of thorns I find myself hoping for the rain You don't see shadows on a cloudy day Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out They'll all agree with what I'm talking about They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before They'd ever set foot in an open door Do open windows keep the rain away? Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? I thought an open door would bring you in Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I thought I heard you pulling up outside It's just the wind whisperin' through the pines I haven't seen who I'm looking for Just empty shadows in my open door The empty closet where you hung your clothes The empty hooks where you hung your coat The cellar steps or the kitchen floor They don't catch shadows like an open door Do open windows keep the rain away? Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay? I thought an open door would bring you in Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I'm saving nickels and I'm saving dimes
I'm gonna kiss you where the sun don't shine
And all those shadows gonna kiss them too
Just as long as they come in with you
Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

Josh sounds so good.
I saw him last year at the EMI fringe festival w/ Hillary Han. I orginaly came for Hilary Han but left as a Josh Ritter fan.
