House With No Door lyrics

There's a house with no door and I'm living there

At nights it gets so cold

And the days are hard to bear inside.

There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,

Falling through my head as I try to think out time.

I don't know you, you say you know me,

That may be so,

There's so much that I am unsure of

You call my name, but it sounds unreal,

I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure.

There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;

I sometimes find it hard to tell

If any are alive at all outside.

There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there

There's not much point in words

If there's no-one to share in time.

I've learned my lines, I know them so well,

I am ready to tell

Whoever will finally come in

Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night,

It doesn't seem right

When there's that little dark figure running

Won't somebody help me?

There's a house with no door

And there's no living there

One day it became a wall

Well I didn't really care at the time.

There's a house with no light,

All the windows are sealed,

Overtaxed and strained now nothing is revealed but time

I don't know you, you say you know me,

That may be so,

There's so much that I am unsure of

You call my name, but it sounds unreal,

I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure

Won't somebody help me?
