Don't Come Knocking

You're everything I could want

There's no house you couldn't haunt

You're the key that could keep me in

You're the sense, under the skin



I won't bring you roses

I'll bring myself instead

Time only is time

For what is meant

Not what was said



Don't come knocking, don't come knocking

Don't come knocking at my door

Don't come knocking, knock, knock, knocking

Don't come knocking no more



You're a dream I could wake up in

You're a fight I shouldn't try to win

You're the door, I'll always leave open

You're the heart that's always hopin'



Off a tree-lined avenue, in a college made of stone

I'll sit there not dreaming, I would rather live alone



Don't come knocking, don't come knocking

Don't come knocking at my door

Don't come knocking, knock, knock, knocking

Don't come knocking no more



All the stars in the sky

They can't light our way, oh no

All the maps, and all the charts

All the dreams,

Dreams ,won't, leave, you,

Home,

Home,



Don't come knocking, don't come knocking

Don't come knocking at my door

Don't come knocking, don't come knocking

Don't come knocking at my door

Don't come knocking, knock, knock, knocking

Don't come knocking no more
