knock loud, I'm home
just sleeping to pass the time
wondering if you'll come by to visit me
ten years have passed
since you walked out of my life
but late last night in the pharmacy
you were in the line in front of me
so I ran away to hide
knock loud, I'm home
I wrote in black felt pen
took that sign and taped it to the door
if you come in to see how I have been
make sure the door is closed behind you
stand above me, while I, poised, do plunge through
my heart attack kills the worst of me
said I was sorry, drink to forgive
I wake up alone
knock loud, I'm home
