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
