House of Four Doors

Song ratings

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating An interesting and complex John Lodge composition, continuing further into the "searching for answers" theme of the album. Lost in the woods, he finds an old house with four doors. Opening each door one at a time, he finds them leading to disparate musics from different eras. Opening the fourth door (creeeaaaak) provides a unique segueway into the next song... Bruce Beatlefan October 22, 2011

Lyrics

Mystery spread it's cloak
Across the sky
We'd lost our way
Shadows fell from trees
They knew why
Then through the leaves a light broke through
A path lost for years lead us through

House of four doors
I could live there forever
House of four doors
Would it be there forever?

Loneliness, the face of pilgrims eyes was known
As the door opened wide

Beauty they had found before my eyes to see
To the next door we came

Love of music showed in everything we heard
Through the third door where are we?

Enter in all ye who seek to find within
As the plaque said on the last door
