Jane Austen's Door - Steve Hackett

Has Jean Paul Sartre deserted you

Do you still listen to the blues

Is there a needle beside your hand

A poisoned chalice or the promised land

Some doors open some doors close

Do opposites still seem close

Did Ruby Tuesday get to you

Or the caretaker whose film we used

A purple rose that was ignored

The child behind Jane Austen’s door

Oh has your life seemed unkind

With all those friends you left behind

We burned our bridges fast those days

Don’t think about them it doesn’t pay

My drunken guitar Sloane Square tube

Falling backwards me and you

Tumbling over to the floor

You cried inside Jane Austen’s door

So long
