LYRIC FOR SALE

By Anne Elder

I'm knocking at the door,
can you let me come inside?
I haven't been here before
and I need a place to hide.
Your home looks so inviting
and I've heard it's safe and warm.
I think I'll settle right in
while I shelter from the storm.

(chorus)
I'm knocking at the door,
the silence is deafening,
I'm knocking at the door.
Please let me in, please let me in, please let me in.

I'm knocking at the door,
please don't tell me you can't hear.
Tell me, why do you ignore
what should be so loud and clear?
I hear the sound of voices
and I want to be a part.
Don't take away my choices
or turn down my aching heart.

(chorus)
I'm knocking at the door,
the silence is deafening,
I'm knocking at the door.
Please let me in, please let me in, please let me in.

I'm knocking at the door,
you pretend that you can't see.
My knuckles are getting sore
and it's raining hard on me.
I won't be turning back yet
so you could just let me in.
I won't leave you to forget
there's a fight that you can win.

(chorus)
I'm knocking at the door,
the silence is deafening,
I'm knocking at the door.
Please let me in, please let me in, please let me in.

I'm knocking at the door
but I hear you turn the key.
My smooth skin is rubbed red raw
as you turn away from me.
I'll make the knocking lighter
and give you some space to think.
I'll stand there like a fighter
when it's time to mend the link.

(chorus)
I'm knocking at the door,
the silence is deafening,
I'm knocking at the door.
Please let me in, please let me in, please let me in.

I'm knocking at the door
like I'm trying to get out.
My words all crash to the floor
however loudly I shout.
No-one can stop me knocking,
I'll keep trying all the while,
when you're done with the mocking
I'll be ready with a smile.

(chorus)
I'm knocking at the door,
the silence is deafening,
I'm knocking at the door.
Please let me in, please let me in, please let me in.
(twice)
