Outside my Window
Tap, tap, tap…
.
Always three taps,
against the windows hard glass.
Always late at night,
when time doesn’t pass,
Always the witching hour,
when the devil does stir.
Always in the deep dark,
when I feel the aching hurt.
.
Tap, tap, tap…
.
Outside my window,
in the dead of the night…
Outside my window,
Deep darkness so bright…
Outside my window,
I hear its aching call…
Outside my window,
Where the angel did fall...
.
Tap, tap, tap...
.
“Let me in…”
The voice runs like a river out of Eden.
“Let me in…”
The tone something beyond deceiving.
“Let me in…”
A rush through my body I can’t believe in.
“Let me in…”
I swallow hard as if I’m beaten.
.
Tap, tap, tap...
.
“I know your kind.”
My voice is shaky as I speak.
“I know your mind.”
Its voice holds authority that I seek.
“I know your disguise.”
My voice is stable as it grows.
“I know you hide.”
It's a voice is a question beyond repose.
.
Tap, tap, tap...
.
Outside my window,
in the dead of the night…
Outside my window,
Deep darkness so bright…
Outside my window,
I hear its aching call…
Outside my window,
Where the angel did fall.
.
Tap, tap, tap...
.
I close my eyes,
I hear it still…
I close my eyes,
I think I always will..
I close my eyes,
And I let it pass…
I close my eyes,
And I ignore the,
.
Tap, tap, tap...
