Girl in the Doorway

My girl in the hospital doorway
Saying goodnight to me
I say I'll be here in the morning
But you know I won't be

Oh
I'm letting you go
You're on your own
Make your way

In a year you'll feel steadier
But in ten years you'll fall
In twenty years you'll be frightened
And grateful
At tiny cracks in your wall

Oh
I've let you go
You're on your own
Make your way

You will put yourself to right
Every day and in the night

My girl in the doorway
You won't be alone
I'll come to the surface
When you have a girl of your own

Oh
I let you go
You're on your own
Make your way
