The Uninvited Guest

There's a little old man
standing by my window
There's a little old man
hiding in the shadows
The uninvited guest, could never have been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
There's a little old man
I'd say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man
I could really use his company
The uninvited guest, could never have been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
Come inside and stay for a little while
Come in from the cold and warm your heart
Come inside and tell me who you are
Come in from the cold and warm your heart
You would not know of me
We never met before
The name is Damian and I used to live in this house
The uninvited guest, could never have been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
There's a little old man
I'd say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man
I could really use his company
The uninvited guest, could never have been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
So I said farewell until we meet again
You can come again my friend, any day you want
I later learned that he was never here
I later learned that he'd been dead a year
The uninvited
