Guest House - Daughters

The incorrigible wheel tilts at a grotesque angle

The delay is upon me

Who locked the door?

Who bent the key?

I’ve been knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking

Pounding and knocking and knocking

Let me in

I need a place to bury the soulless, charming

Winter-hell creature upon me

Who boarded the windows?

Who closed the screens?

I’ve been knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking

And knocking and knocking and knocking

Let me in

I have come from the distance

Where you can’t see

It is there, believe me

Now let me in

Let me in

Let me in

Who put a padlock on the cellar door?

Let me in

I’ve been knocking, let me in

Who bricked off the chimney?

I can’t hear you speak

I’ve been knocking and knocking

Let me in

Let me in

Let me in

Let me in

Let me in
