I Thought I Heard You Knocking Lyrics - Mark Erelli

(Mark Erelli) 

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
