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
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
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
