Open The Door Richard - Fairport Convention

Well, there’s certain things

That I learned from Jim

He’d always make sure I’d understand

That there is a certain way

That we all must swim

If we expect to live off

Of the fat of the land

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

But I ain’t gonna hear it said no more

There’s a certain thing

That I learned from my friend, Mouse

A man who never even blushes

That we must expect to always flush out our house

If we don’t want goin' 'round housing flushes

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

And I ain’t gonna hear it said no more

«Take care of all your memories»

Said Mick

«For you cannot relive them

Remember that when you’re out there

Tryin' to heal the sick

That you must always

First forgive them»

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

But I ain’t gonna hear it said no more

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

Open the door, Richard

I’ve heard it said before

And I ain’t gonna hear it said no more
