Keep On Knocking

To live a life of splendor A life of joy, comfort, and wonder You knocked... I opened. Trust me, believe me, stand by me The one in your dreams, let me be You knocked... I opened. Walls slowly came crumbling down Unaware of what was bound You knocked... I opened. If only you came with a caution sign so I could at least resign You knocked... I still opened. Let the truth be told For this I am too old You knocked... I cannot open. Was I the fool to be had by such a tool? You continued to knock... I will not open. Farewell to you and your cruel lies I turn a deaf ear to all your cries You knocked... I will NEVER open!
