Many shoes have taken steps across the treshold

But no shoes were ever crowder than his

On the day he carried me across the treshold

And gave his brand new bride a wedding kiss

Now a hundred heartaches later out the treshold

All his love for me has vanished there's no doubt

And the lips that kissed me coming through the treshold

And they're laughin' now as I go walking out

[ steel ]

I built my little world behind that treshold I may not have made him happy but I tried

Still his eyes keep looking out across the treshold

For the happiness he thinks he left outside

Now I'm standing all alone at the treshold

All his love for me has vanished there's no doubt

And the lips that kissed me coming through the treshold

And they're laughin' now as I go walking out

I hear him laughin' now as I go walking out
