I Thought I Heard You Knocking

I thought I heard you knocking

As I sprung up from my chair

Flung the door wide open

There was no one standing there

It's getting harder every moment

To tell what's really real

Sometimes it ain't the things you know

It's more the way you feel

I thought I heard you knocking

Tapping soft and light

Like the sounds an old house offers

When it settles for the night

You used to be just as familiar

Like whiskey on my breath

Now whenever you come calling

You scare me half to death

Haven't you already had your fun

Or maybe this has only just begun

You got me wondering should I stay or should run

Won't you tell me what you think it is I done

I thought I heard you knocking

Like a hard rain tumbling down

When I strain my ears to listen

I can scarcely hear the sound

Some questions they have answers

And you never ask again

Some questions only lead

To places you've already been

It's such a dark and bitter seed you've sown

I've got a worried feeling deep down in my bones

If I look at you will I just turn to stone

I don't know why you won't leave me alone

I thought I heard you knocking

Sharp and shallow on my door
