The days run together
They crowd at your front gate
But you can’t let them in
So you tell them to wait
And one by one
They file up the driveway
And your bell is still ringing
As down goes the day
So you take off your shoes
And you turn up the volume
And they all go to sleep
While you’re safe in your room
And in your bed at night
A stranger sleeps beside
And she opens your wardrobe
And she fumbles inside
Chorus:
Let me in, let me in
Or ill blow your house down
Let me in, let me in
Cause there’s snow on the ground
I won’t wait here forever
And then you will see
You should never say never
Cause I sow what you reap
They huddle on your doorstep
As the clouds start to break
And they scratch at your windows
And they bang on your gate
And they walk on your doormat
With wet muddy shoes
And now and then the lights go out
Cause they’ve stolen the fuse
And sometimes in the night
You answer the phone
And they breathe down the line
Just to see if you’re home
They sing in your garden
Like dogs when the fight
And the noise that they make
Drills holes in the night
Chorus
Let me in ©2004 Declan Murray / Amith Narayan
