Well the days run together, the crowd at your front gate
but you can’t let them in, so you tell them to wait
and one by one, they file out the driveway
and your bell is still ringing, but down goes the day
so you take off your shoes and you turn off 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 I’ll blow your house down
let me in, let me in
cuz there’s snow on the ground
I won’t wait here forever
and then you will see,
you should never say never,
cuz I sow what you reap.

Well 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 in wet, muddy shoes.
And now and then, your lights go out
cuz 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 they fight,
and that noise that they make drills holes in the night.

Let me in, let me in
or I’ll blow your house down
let me in, let me in
cuz there’s snow on the ground
I won’t wait here forever
and then you will see,
you should never say never,
cuz I sow what you reap.

Let me in, let me in
or I’ll blow your house down
let me in, let me in
cuz there’s snow on the ground
I won’t wait here forever
and then you will see,
you should never say never,
cuz I sow what you reap.
