I hear the knocking and I know who's there I see the branches, they blow in the air I know the sounds that this house makes at night And I know you told me that I'll be alright I see the light as it crawls across the floor You asked me please not to call anymore My friends all tell me that time heals all things But I turn the clock off before it can ring Put the pictures in the basement Lock'em up tight The presents and the postcards Get'em out of sight Wake up crying In the middle of the night Tell everybody you're doing all right I made the coffee And you made the bed I made you sorry For things that you said Now I return At the close of the day To find that my life's in Complete disarray Put the pictures in the basement Lock'em up tight The presents and the postcards Get'em out of sight Wake up crying In the middle of the night Tell everybody you're doing all right
